micronics M54Hi-Plus mobo, p200, 128M
buslogic bt-946c scsi ctlr (bt driver)
(2) smc etherpower nic (dec 21041) (de driver)
ne2000 compatible nic (ed driver)
isa board for pcmcia; has Vadem 365 chips on it.
Made a little progress...
Discovered that because the original system had no ata devices,
the installation had generated a /boot/kernel.conf that disabled
ata devices. Removing that line helped.
The card now comes up:
ad0: 15MB <SanDisk SDCFB-16> [490/2/32] at ata0-master BIOSPIO
However, when I try to mount the thing I get:
/#mount /dev/ad0 /pccard
mount: /dev/ad0 on /pccard: incorrect super block
What type of file system do the cards have on them?
I tried mount_msdos and that didn't work;
got "/dev/ad0: Invalid argument"
Don't know if this is related or not:
The boot probe shows the following:
...
isab0: <Intel 82371SB PCI to ISA bridge> at device 7.0 on pci0
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> at device 7.1 on pci0
atapci0: ATA channel disabled by BIOS
...
I presume this is the ata primary and secondary disk connectors
being reported as disabled, not the isa bus card slots. I do
have the ide disks disabled in BIOS, as there are no ide drives
on the system.
Thanks for any insights,
Gary
