The > device is not found. either the Future Domain TMC-850 SCSI Controller or the Toshiba XM-3401 CD could be your problem. the stock Future Domain TMC-850 SCSI Controller had some problems and has been replaced. some Toshiba cdrom drive *lie* and claim to be harddisks. as in: aha0 targ 6 lun 0: type 0(direct) fixed SCSI2 aha0 targ 6 lun 0: <TOSHIBA CD-ROM DRIVE:XM 1971> that "fixed" should be removeable. i got around this by hacking the scsi code to recognize the toshiba as a cdrom anyway. can you install on something else and build a new kernel?? the new kernel should have the new Future Domain code and some hacks to get the cdrom recognized (i can provide the code fro both) unfortunately i am not setup to cut boot floppies ;((( > > I noticed the FAQ for 1.1 and below mentions support for FD TMC-8xx > but the FAQ for 2.0 mentions support for FD TMC-950. > > I have tried booting from floppy with the boot -c option and disabling > everything except what I believe the system is actually using and has found. > > Any advice, tips, tricks, techniques, tools, etc. would be greatly appreciated. > Although I was able to intall from hardisk, I would still like to get support > for the CD as there are still many ports and packages I would like to install. > > Thanks, > Craig J.
