The boot floppy recognizes the controller and the drives, but when it tries to access the drives near the end of the boot process, it dies with a looping error: panic: ahc0: brkadrint, Illegal Host Access at seqaddr = 0x0 I managed to actually get a SNAP install done using a 2.1 boot floppy to determine if it's a problem with the SNAP floppy, but I get the same errors. (The machine was running both 2.05 & 2.1 with no problems) Has there been any changes in the code that probes this controller ?
