Problem: The boot process doesn't get beyond the boxed BusLogic boot message. It never makes it to the "press -B" stuff. [Which it does if I insert it in my 486dx66-PCI system.] My system: Pentium 90 Mhz on a Side motherboard P54 SP - Chipset: SIS 85C50{1,2,3} - Bios: Award modular v4.50G 32 Mb RAM standard multio I/O controller with IDE still on and a 540 Mb WD caviar connected. What have I done: Tried the BusLogic in all slots. fumbling with the auto settings on the slots (Auto->A) changed the interrupt on the controller (on my 486DX66) from 14 to 11 But all this has failed. Can anybody please help me get further so I can get my FreeBSD 2.0 back again?
