- Hello all,
-
- First, thank you very much for all who gave ma information.
- I am still struggling with the installation, and report it
- this time.
-
- "as0d: controller error 0x12 reading fsbn 0"
- "scsi sense: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (0 x30 times) 0 0 0 0 0 0"
-
- According an information, "It means that either no disks or no
- controllers were found in the probe phase. "
-
- Some people suggested to check Adaptek 1742 configration.
- Yes, I checked it again,
- Adaptec 1742 port 0x330, irq 11, drq 5 (factory setting)
- Standard mode (BIOS 0xCC000 enabled)
-
- Then, as another recommendation, I tried a newbootable for 1740
- which are in ref.tfs.com:/usr/bootdisks.
-
- size timestamp name
- a) 1228800 Nov 22 15:09 dist.fs.aha1742-only
- b) 1225728 Dec 3 16:33 fixit.1742a.fs
- c) 1228800 Nov 22 14:36 fixit.fs.aha1742-only
-
- a) and c) endless booting, boot -> reboot -> reboot ...... (ah!)
-
- b) booted correctly, probing information was

-
- FIXIT Floppy Release 0.1
-
- Because the fixit doesn't have 'install' program, I made another
- boot floppy from a) binary.
- Then, boot from b) and mount a) floppy to the kernel,
- like 'mount /dev/fd1a /mnt'
-
- I could execute the installation program, much better than the
- last time :-), but installation was failed again.
-
- High level formatting of 386BSD disk strage.
- newfs: /dev/ras0a device not configured.
- Could not format filesystem Installation failed.
-
- I checked the disklabel of the fixed disk, that was ... something
- worng. Even I use 'disklabel' program manualy, I couldn't give a
- correct disklabel for the hard disk.
-
- Finally, here is my new questions,
- 1) why did 'disklabel' and 'newfs' fail.
- 2) Is there a limitation for the number of HDD cylinders?
- like the 1024 DOS limitation.
-
- # Probably, I have to buy Adaptec 1542B adapter... :-(
