I've installed 2.1.5 on a DEC Celebris XL 5133 and it fails: The installation itsself went OK. But when booting the new system, it tries to boot off the floppy drive. When I manually enter sd(0,a)kernel as the device to boot from, it does boot however. The disk is a Quantum Fireball SCSI disk hanging on a NCR controller. (NCR SDMS V3.0 PCI scsi bios, PCI rev 2, NCRPCI 3.05.03) So the bootblock itsself is read from the disk. When trying to boot, it says it is using dosdev:0 biosdev: 0 unit: 0 major: 2. WHen I manually enter sd(0,a)kernel, it tells me it is booting from dosdev: 80 biosdev: 0 unit: 0 major: 4. What's wrong? -Guido
