I have a Western Digital 5.1 GB (EIDE) and an OLD DEC RZ25 406MB SCSI attached to a BT-948 BusLogic Adapter. I've tried installing FreeBSD 2.2.2 on the SCSI drive. The installation seems to proceed with no problems. The problems occur when I actuallly try to boot FreeBSD. I am also using System Commander 3.01. System Commander detects the new OS, but one of two things happens. One, System Commander tells me the partition is possibly corrupt. Two, System Commander attempts to boot FreeBSD and I then get a "READ ERROR". Just for kicks, I tried installing RedHat Linux 4.2 on the SCSI drive and everything worked just great. No problems at all. I've installed FreeBSD before, but never in a EIDE & SCSI system. Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated! Thanks!
