However I can't seem to get the install floppy to recognize the drive. My first thought was that we had an incompatible SCSI controller. Then I noticed that it wasn't polling sd0 at all. When I boot with the -c option and use the ls command there are no 'sd' devices listed at all. I'm quite clueless here. The drive is a conner 1.xx gig. The controller card is an Always (yeah I know... its not on the list, but I was hoping for compatiblity). I guess I'm a bit confused here. As a side note... where can I find out what the other boot options are used for? -Steve
