I have two ide-drives, and a SCSI on an AHA1505 (without bios)
The installation floppy can install on the SCSI, but after much trial and error, I finally got the bootmanager installed.
It says: F1 os2 (actually os/2 bootmanager, only sees dos, os2 deleted)
F3 dos
F5 2. disk
When I try F5, I only get "NO ROM BASIC, SYSTEM HALTED!"
It probably tries to boot the 2. ide-drive.
I guess the bootmanager can't access the AHA1505 without a driver, because the AHA doesn't have a bios.
So what now? Should I put a root on the 2. ide (I have an empty partition)
If I would move the SCSI to another machine to run unix solely, could I boot from a floppy?
