Subject: SyJet Doesn't boot on Adaptec AHA-1520
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk


Configuration:

Dell Dimension P120c
Two IDE drives on primary IDE controller
no drives on secondary and tertiary IDE controllers
Adaptec AHA-1520 SCSI HBA w/ DMA, SCSI-II, BIOS and boot enabled via jumpers
Toshiba CDROM (ID=2) and Syquest SyJet (ID=0) removable drive on the AHA-1520

Situation:

I've been reading the Toshiba CD on the 1520 about a year and it's performed
well, without problems.  I added the SyJet last fall and it generally reads,
writes and performs fine under FreeBSD and other OSs.  The 1520 BIOS issues a
message on startup.  However, I can't seem to get either of the SCSI drives to
boot.  For example, my FreeBSD system is on my second IDE drive so it boots as

1:wd(0,a)

However, when I try to boot off 2: or inquire about its e root directory using

2:sd(0,a)?

I get a never ending stream of error messages.
