I have a Pentium 90 w/ an Intel Neptune system board (Premiere PCI II) w/ 2 Western Digital hard drives on the built-in EIDE controller (1 1.2GB as DOS C:\ and 1 1.0GB as DOS D:\), an Adaptec AHA1542CP controller (this is the new Plug and Play one), a Plextor 6X CD-ROM drive connected to the Adaptec (SCSI ID 6), and three external Micropolis 2210 1050MB hard drives, set to SCSI ID's 0,1, and 2 respectively. Also, the Adaptec is on port 334 instead of 330 so it won't conflict w/ my SB-AWE32/Roland daughtercard combination. My goal is to have DOS & Win95 on the two Western Digitals and FreeBSD on one of the SCSI's. (The other 2, ID's 1 and 2, already have Linux and SunOS 5.4 for X86 installed on them w/ no problems.). I was able to boot up FreeBSD using the FBSDBOOT.EXE on the FreeBSD 2.0.5 Walnut Creek CD and install the software (it did complain bitterly about the disk geometry on the SCSI drive, but I persisted and installed anyway) with no problems. However, now I can't boot up the system using either the OSBS boot manager software from the CD or the boot floppy - it just locks up after stating "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle.". What is the proper way to install FreeBSD and then boot the OS? Thanks for your help. -Ryan R. Donovan rdonovan@wln.com
