I have been ablet to install FreeBSD to a Seagate ST3390 - 330 MB) drive. During the commit step during the install, the system hangs (the activity LED on the adaptec remains on) and after about 15sec. The message "Panic(adaptec 1742) for hisotical reasons" is displayed and after a short delay, the system reboots. The drive works fine (in the same system) using DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1. Initially, I had timeout problems there as well, but after downloading the latest configuriation files from adaptec the problem wen away. These configuration files allowed me to set a specific IRQ (11) and to specify edge trigerring. Using EZ-SCSI I found that the drive doesnot support SCSI-Linking (?) while the older drive does. Is this related to tagged command queuing? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tom Keefe
