I have copied the boot image to a 1.44Mb disk and boot from the floppy for installation. The setup lists this controller (ahc0?) in the PCI listing but does not allow modification of settings. During the system autodetection the installation gives the following messages: >> wating for scsi "controlers"? to settle The process then makes 10 attempts to detect the configuration and fails. I do then get a VGA screen that lasts for just a few seconds, and then the system reboots. If you have any ideas or if you need more detailed information, please contact me @ eastman@inficad.com Sincerely, Todd Eastman Arizona, USA
