Date: Fri, 17 Nov 95 16:50:23 +0000 Message-ID: <16316.816627023@kiha> From: David Hedley Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I have recently 'upgraded' several computers from Linux to FreeBSD (various 2.1-SNAPs) and although everything is mostly going OK, I have noticed one very annoying thing and that is FreeBSD often doesn't boot properly after a warm boot - particularly after rebooting from DOS. Both the NCR SCSI and the 3Com 3C509 don't seem to initialise the cards/chips properly as both sometimes fail to work following a warm boot and require a cold boot to function. I remember reading somewhere that this was a problem with the 3c509 driver, but the NCR also has problems which is a little strange. Would it be possible to simply snarf the initialisation code from the respective Linux drivers as that never had any problems booting up?
