Not exactly an answer, but can you see the configuration working via another o/s? My usual trick when assembling kit is to use MS-DOS/DR-DOS to make sure that the hardware is up to snuff before plastering something heavy-duty on it. HTH Clem -----Original Message----- From: jmutter Sent: 26 July 1999 16:42 To: freebsd-questions Cc: jmutter Subject: FreeBSD 3.2 Install & 2940 UW Hi all, I'm trying to install 3.2 on an old system with an Adaptec 2940 UW Controller and a single Micropolis (I know) drive. The machine has been quickly constructed from parts and is only meant to demonstrate a few concepts such as SAMBA and Squid. Anyhow, on with the show. When the system boots everything is fine. The kernel locates the controller, and later locates the drive. The problems start when I try to label and partition the drive. Sysinstall complains that it can't find any disks. Ideas? The drive is SCSI ID 0 and the controller is SCSI ID 7. There are not any IDE components attached to the system, so installing onto an IDE drive is out of the question at this time.
