I've been playing around trying to install 2.0.5 or the 2.1.0 SNAP to a SCSI-disk on my Zappa P90, with either Adaptec 2940 or 1542B. The Zappa bios is revision 1.00.02. When I upgraded from some clone 486/66 mainboard to this one, I just moved all the disks over to 2940 and it booted happily (running 2.0.0-SNAP950322) and still does. The boot disk is (ahc0:0:0): "HP C3323-300 4084" is a type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1003MB (2056008 512 byte sectors) However, installing from scratch to a spare 100M or ~200M disk, the system refuses to boot and instead reports "Missing operating system". Booting from floppy and typing: hd(0,a)/kernel to the boot prompt brings the system nicely up from the harddisk and everything is fine. I've tried to rewrite the bootblocks with disklabel with same results. Is there anything that can be done or are both of my disks somehow broken ? Pete
