The latter way has th= e > advantage not to require a screw-driver :). I tried the motherboard setup change and made IRQ 9 into a legacy device. Then I tried 4.2-RELEASE boot floppies again. The system halts at "waiting 15 seconds...". Any suggestions? btw: I've been told this offline: "That's a DFI motherboard, and you may not be able to boot from a SCSI drive with the SC200 because it doesn't have its own BIOS - it uses the BIOS on an ASUS motherboard (for which it was designed). It should work OK as a non-booting controller (for CDROM, scanner, etc.), however." -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.freebsddiary.org/ NZ ADSL - http://www.unixathome.org/adsl/ NZ Broadband - http://www.unixathome.org/broadband/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
