Umm.... HELP! :-) I've just spent a futile night scouring the freebsd archives, looking for answers to my SCSI boot problems, and couldn't find an answer (that worked anyways. :-) ) I have a rev 1.8 PCI/I-SP3G ASUS motherboard with a rev 4 Saturn chip in it and a rev 2 NCR 53c810 chip. I'm trying to boot using the 2.1.0 boot floppy image. The devices on the SCSI chain are: Toshiba MK538FB hard drive, Hitachi DK516C hard drive, ARCHIVE Python DAT, and a Sony CDU-76S. All the PCI related BIOS settings are set to the BIOS defaults. When FreeBSD reaches the point where it polls the NCR SCSI bus, it starts scrolling a bunch error messages. I haven't recorded all the messages it scrolls up the screen, but after correctly identifying the device (it prints the right name on screen) it receives an M_REJECT and a timeout for each device. One line in the middle of the scroll that caught my eye might be helpful in IDing the problem: DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success) Another cute effect occurs when I exit the install program, causing a reboot, my system reports a CMOS checksum error, and gets reset to the default BIOS settings. I appologize in advance if this isn't the correct list to post this question in (it seemed most fitting to me). Andrew Suessmuth aks@interlog.comTesting
