- I don't know about the ProSignia. So far I haven't been able to get 386BSD
- to work FAST-SCSI-2 on a Compaq 486/50 XL, but am still trying. My problem
- is that the SCSI-2 controller can't be configured as a primary controller
- (yet), so you can't boot off it.
-
- I think I will be able to use the floppy boot from ref.tfs.com to specify
- the SCSI device to boot from.
-
- Meanwhile, my system will definitely run 386BSD SCSI with an Adaptec 1542B
- controller thrown in it.
