- 386bsd will have no problems with this with the new drivers..
- (the old drivers can also handle it but the device for the disk
- would be as6, so you'd have to change the swap and root definitions.)
- The hard bit will be convincing the BIOS on the aha1542 that
- it should boot of ID6. (it won't do it)
- If you are booting of another disk, you should be able to reach
- the drive as sd0 on the new scsi system or as6 on the old one.
