  Subject: Install on SCSI Hard Drive newfs problem


  I am installing v4.6 onto a IBM 18GB UW SCSI Hard Drive with an =
Adaptec controller.  I boot from the floppies and start the standard =
installation. I go through the partition utilities and choose to use the =
whole disk (the disk geometry reports the correct disk size).  Then I =
use the default choices for the slices.  When I begin the download from =
the FTP site the installation of the new file system fails.  I went =
through the intialization screen and it appears all the hardware is =
being detected correctly.  When I looked at the sysinstall log messages =
I see the following errors

  da0:ahc0:0:6:0 ABORTED COMMAND asc:47,0
  DEBUG:  Scanning disk da0 for root filesystem
  newfs: /dev/da0s1a: Device not configured

  I have installed FreeBSD on IDE drives several times without a problem =
at this point.  I am stuck. I need some help or a point in a new =
direction

  TIA,

  Joe
