The config is: 2 NCR SC200 (53c810) with: ncr0: ncr1: 0 HP3725S (2GB HD) <-- 50MB DOS, rest free 2 CDROM 1 2 CDROM 3 3 CDROM 2 3 CDROM 4 4 CDROM 5 5 CDROM 6 6 HP35480A (DAT) 6 CDROM 7 IDE disabled. In the BIOS: Slot 1 (Right) IRQ 15 <- ncr0 Slot 2 14 <- ncr1 Slot 3 Auto Slot 4 Auto The rest are 2 SMC8016 cards and a PCI-video card. On probing the devices, it sees the disk (and all other devices): sd0(ncr0:0:0): HP C3725S 6039 However, when I call the partition editor from the custom install menu it says 'no disk found' and the debug screen shows: sd0(ncr0:0:0) Aborted Command asc: 4e,0 Overlapped commands attempted, retries 4 [3 2 1] sd0: error reading primary partition table After swapping the SCSI buses, sd0(ncr1:0:0) complains. Any clue, what I'm doing wrong ?
