two questions:
(a) what ioaddr/irq is the mcd0a expected on? I've set ioaddr=0x300 irq=5
but the booter times out waiting for status. So...
(b) I've copied as much of the CDROM that will fit to my DOS hard-disk,
then I reconfigured the system to have the working (but very bare,
having successfully loaded the floppies to the empty hard-disk) 2.0
disk as the master IDE drive, and the DOS drive as slave. Booting 2.0
finds wd0a as expected, and the slave drive as wd1a, but when I try
to use the installation menu to install the binary distribution from
DOS, I try to replace the pro-offered /dev/fd0 with /dev/wd1a and mount
fails. Any suggestions?
(c) (suggestions) it would be awfully nice to have a file on the distribution
CDROM that tells what the ioaddr/irq configuration that the kernel on
the floppy expects.
I've been running FreeBSD 1.0 for a year now, and you all are to be commended
for a really fine job. I'm looking forward to getting 2.0 up.
thanks in advance for all the help.
best regards/bob
