Hi J"org,
Pleased to make you acquaintance.
>Hmm, and where's your problem?
I guess I wasn't clear. I have a FreeBSD 2.0R system running.
I tried to do a complete reinstall using the new 2.1R I just got on CD.
(I'm installing using the "install.bat" file from MS-DOS.)
It (2.1R) fails on the CD-ROM driver with the following messages:
(ncr0:6:0): "CHINON CD-ROM CDS-535 Q20" type 5 removable SCSI2
cd0(ncr0:6:0): CD-ROM ncr0: SCSI phase error fixup: CCB address mismatch
(0xf07cd400 != 0xf07cc948)
ncr0:6: ERROR (80:100) (e-aa-0) (0/13) @ (438:1e000000)
script cmd = 868b0000
reg: da 10 80 13 47 00 0b 1f 06 0e 01 aa 80 00 0a 00
ncr0: handshake timeout
cd0(ncr0:6:0): COMMAND FAILED (6 ff) @f07cd400
can't get the size
The install proceeds to "sysinstall" but will not let me use the CD-ROM as
media type. It says there is no CD-ROM.
This is the install.bat on the CD-ROM, so I guess it would be the GENERIC
kernel. Although I did try using the /kernel -c option at boot and disabling
all the drivers I don't need, this didn't change the result of the boot. Funny
thing, there is no ncr driver listed, I guess that means there are no options
for that driver?
I also tried to create a floppy boot disk. This had the same bad result.
I guess the confusing part is that version 2.0 seemed to exhibit the same
failure but it was handled by the assertion(see previous message), now version
2.1 doesn't handle the error. Obviously the ncr driver was changed (I can't
say improved), and now it's broke for me.
So what is my solution? Can I update everything except the ncr driver, using
the Unix file system on the second CD, (The Walnut Creek release contains 2
CD's. One is MS-DOS based and the second is a UFS), and if so how?
Any insight you could provide would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
