Date: Thu, 11 Nov 1999 11:36:30 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2559.0) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm trying to boot a DS20 with the 10/31 4.0 snapshot. It gets as far as the "probing for i/o devices" screen, then after 24 hours or so continues to the install option screen. It apparently fails to recognize the SCSI controller because it sees no disk devices. This system has a dual port NCR 53C875 SCSI controller combo card (which also includes a DE500 (Tulip) ethernet controller. I believed that the NCR 53C875 was on the supported list, but maybe its isnt. Any ideas? /maurice To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
