[I'm resubmitting this since I think the original got lost in the hub crash earlier this week] Configuration: Dell Dimension P120c Two IDE drives on primary IDE controller no drives on secondary and tertiary IDE controllers Adaptec AHA-1520 SCSI HBA w/ DMA, SCSI-II, BIOS and boot enabled via jumpers Toshiba CDROM (ID=2) and Syquest SyJet (ID=0) removable drive on the AHA-1520 Situation: I've been reading the Toshiba CD on the 1520 about a year and it's performed well, without problems. I added the SyJet last fall and it generally reads, writes and performs fine under FreeBSD and other OSs. The 1520 BIOS issues a message on startup. However, I can't seem to get either of the SCSI drives to boot. For example, my FreeBSD system is on my second IDE drive so it boots as 1:wd(0,a) However, when I try to boot off 2: or inquire about its e root directory using 2:sd(0,a)? I get a never ending stream of error messages.
