[-- Attachment #1 --] An award 1997 BIOS shows up at bootup (systems has run 2.2.8 and now 4.2) noticing the AHA2940 resource which holds the hopefully soon to be old 4.2 OS. The boot up .. assume firmware or whatever .. mbr, boot0, boot1, ? .. prompts "Initialize ... MBA ... " I have no idea how that got there .. then up comes .. "Press N to boot net ..." and finally assume booteasy "Default: F2" . I have the award BIOS set to A, C, SCSI, or at least A first .. The "1:fd(0,a)/kernal" of the kern.flp (FreeBSD 4.7) is NOT accessable .. What must I be overlooking .. the fd is visible from 4.2 when booted but I can NOT boot from fd0 ..? Unlike lilo .. I can not decide what to edit in the /boot directory or where ever to get a fd boot and NOT circumvent the boot sequence. PS With this old a mobo, is there a list of older and still available 50-pin U-SCSIs that should fly with the AHA2940 ? /Ev/ -- + Web: http://www.vhwy.com/efb 24Hrs 888 522-VHWY + + Vmail: 805.340-6471 WA6CRE@arrl.net [English/Espanol] + [-- Attachment #2 --] begin:vcard n:Batey;Everett F tel;work:(805) 340-6471 x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:efb@cotdazr.org fn:Everett F Batey II end:vcard
