Hi,

I'm unable to get FreeBSD 2.0 to boot on the following system:

        Micron P90 Powerstation (P5-90, 16MB, Micronics motherboard)
        Adaptec AHA-2940
        ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (2MB)
        Creative Labs Sounblaster 16 SCSI-II
        Conner CFP1060S 1.06 GB hard drive
        Plextor 43-CS quad speed CD-ROM

I've created boot floppies from both the February and March SNAPs.  In either
case the boot progresses smoothly until ...

                        :
                        :
                <stuff omitted>
                        :
                        :
        ahc0 <Adaptec 294X SCSI host adapter> rev 0 int a irq 11 on pci0:13
        ahc0: reading board settings
        ahc0: 294X Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, aic7870, 16 SCBs
        ahc0: Downloading Sequencer Program...Done
        ahc0: Probing channel A
        ahc0: waiting for scsi devices to settle

... and then it hangs.  The settings for all the interfaces are factory
defaults (verified against the documentation) except the Soundblaster IRQ
which was changed to 10 (the default IRQ 11 conflicts with the AHA-2940).

I've tried moving things around the SCSI bus (including no devices at
all), changing the Soundblaster IRQ, and removing the Soundblaster entirely.
In all cases I get the same result.

Has anyone else seen this or gotten a similar configuration to work?  Help!

Regards,

Bob Lyon
