When booting from the boot disk I do not see the disks (sd0, sd1) and (F)edit requests a disk number which therefore takes me no further. The info on boot scrolls so quickly that I cannot read it so I assume that it does not understand my SCSI adapter which is an Adaptec AHA-2490/2940W PCI-to Fast SCSI. Is there anything I can do about this ? I cannot see any source code that creates the disk image 'floppies\boot.flp' so I am stuck ! Any help appreciated ! Malcolm G. Boff
