I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on the above box.
The box has one IDE disk containing win95, and one scsi disk for
FreeBSD. Installation proceeded OK (I take it AHA-1510A is supported
even though I dont see it listed on the CDROM cover?), but it will not
boot from the SCSI disk. I have installed Booteasy but it never lists
the 2nd (scsi!) disk on bootup.
I have tried booting from the floppy, and then entering sd(0,a)/kernel
but it complains about the disk label.
I think the problem is that tha AHA-1510A does not support booting from its
devices. Can anyone confirm this?
If this is the case, I guess I can do something ilke:
1. Use fips to shrink the win95 partition ( does fips work OK with
win95?)
2. Stick the FreeBSD root partition on the IDE disk after win95.
This should work, right?
Cheers,
Karl
