The system has an Adaptec 2840 SCSI adapter, and perhaps the bootstrap sees the SCSI adapter, and expects the floppies to be connected to it (which could be the case if a 2842 were used, and the floppy controller on it enabled) and doesn't probe further to the motherboard floppy controller. -Derek At 05:53 PM 8/22/00 +0200, Sheldon Hearn wrote: > > >On Tue, 22 Aug 2000 10:40:09 EST, Derek Ragona wrote: > >> I experimented with the two floppies, mfsroot, and boot floppy. > >Experimented?
