Apologies for asking an install question on this list :(
Is it worth it for me to keep plugging away at installing FreeBSD on a
1000A? I get what appears to be probe timeouts on the QLogic ISP1020
scsi adaptor just before the graphic install screen. The install cannot
detect any hard drives and cant begin. That's where i'm stuck.
I am attempting to boot 5.0 Current using an SRM install ( >>> boot dva0
). Stable 4.0 gave machine check panics.
My attempt at info from notes (i am *brand new* to the Alpha... knew
nothing about it the day before i attempted the install):
Alpha AS1000A 4/266 64MB RAM QLogic ISP1020, DECchip
21040-AA
Slot 0 QLogic ISP1020 Hose 0 Bus 2 PCI
pka 0.7.0.2000.0 SCSI Bus ID 7
dva 0 is in here somewhere
dka 0.0.0.2000.0 RZ28 (no "B" on this one)
dka 100.1.0.2000.0 RZ28B
dka 200.2.0.2000.0 RZ28B
dka 300.3.0.2000.0 RZ28B
dka 600.6.0.2000.0 RRD43
dka 500.5.0.2000.0 TLZ06
Any and all help is appreciated.
--- other problematic behavior ---
constant ST0=40 read/address mark missing errors from all floppies i
tried. All the floppies work fine on other FreeBSD, Linux, WinNT
systems so i no longer think the floppies are at fault. It boots the
kernel and brings me to the graphic install screen so they get me there.
