Subject:   scsi adapter problem
Message-ID:  <199510202237.PAA01560@shell1.best.com>

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.0.5 on a 486 machine and having a 
problem with the scsi adapter. The adapter is an Adaptec 1542.
With no external devices attached and the card's auto termination feature
enabled, the installation proceeds until it gets to the point where it says
"aha0 waiting for scsi devices to settle". Then it comes back with
(aha0:0:0) timed out
adapter not taking commands.. frozen ?!

The installation basically stops at this point.
The system boots DOS OK and the card is brand new.
Can you give me a clue as to what's going on? 
One other thing is that I had to use the -c option to change the cards port from
0x330 to 0x234 which is the way it is configured on my system. I don't think
that
should make a difference but thought you should know.

I need to fix this quickly so I'll very much appreciate your reply.

Thanx.

Lanre Amos.
