Hello I'm trying to install FreeBSD from a 2.2.7 boot floppy. The floppy is ftped from ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.7-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp and written with fdwrite -f boot.flp on a freebsd 2.2.5 The system is allready stripped to an Adaptek 2940UW with a single hard disk drive IBM DCAS-34330, a Matrox Millenium VGA, a floppy drive and 8 MB RAM on a no-name Board with a 486 DX2/66 Proz. SCSI device ID 0 is the hard disk drive, TERM-Jumper is set. The SCSI-Bus is about 40 cm long. The Adaptec has got default settings. No IDE hard disk drive installed in bios and reallity. Everything seems ok, but after the kernal konfiguration setup there is only a "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle". boot: -v tells me, the adaptec identifies the internal wide cable and recognizes there is no external wide and no internal narrow cable. I'm able to install a Debian-Linux-distribution (don't flame me :-) from floppy disk just out of the box without any problem. I think there should be no hardware problem. If anyone can help?
