Hi, Last week I was installing FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a system with a Buslogic BT-958 UW-SCSI adapter. As this is a wide adapater it supports SCSI id's from 0 to 15. This is a list with the SCSI id's in use: 2: Pioneer DR-U10X SCSI-2 CDROM drive 7: BT-958 15: Fast-Wide SCSI-2 2,1 GB Fujitsu M2952QUA harddrive When I tried to boot, it recognized the adapter as a BT-946 adapter. The CDROM (id 2) was recognized but my harddrive (id 15) wasn't. Nevertheless the menu appeared and I selected Novice installation. A message appeared telling me a fdisk like program would be used to select a slice/partition. I pressed continue upon which I got a message saying no disks were found! I thought that as my adapter was recognized as a BT-946, which isn't a wide adapter and as a result doesn't support SCSI id's higher the 7, my harddisk simply couldn't be seen by the driver. Fortunately assigning a different SCSI id on the Fujitsu harddrive was very easy as the jumpers are on the front of the harddrive. I removed the four jumpers assigning the harddrive a SCSI id of 0. I rebooted my computer and this time the driver did recognize my harddrive. I was wondering if someone is working on the Buslogic driver to extend it to include full support for the Buslogic Wide adapters. This shouldn't be to hard. Thanks, Guido Kollerie.home | help
