From: weiss@staff.tc.umn.edu Subject: Install scsi Bernoulli with 1542B Date: 7 Jan 1993 15:20:01 GMT
Problems installing Linus SLS to a Bernoulli cartridge.
With the Adaptec bios disabled( as it must be to run aspi4dos and aspidisk
under DOS) the a1 disk recognizes the existence of the 1542 and the system then
hangs.
With bios enabled, the BErnoulli is correctly identified and the boot proceeds
normally. However, under Linux FDISK cannot recognize the scsi device (per
documentation) and under DOS PFDISK will not recognize my scsi removable
either. My crude understanding is that if I can partition the Bernoulli
for a minix file system while under DOS I should be able to install to it
under Linux. With or without bios enabled, though, pfdisk will not recognize
my scsi Bernoulli.
My boot drive is an RLL mr535 controlled by bios on a western digital
controller and partitioned as C: and D: extended.
There is no entry in AT CMOS for secons drive.
I have read through all the FAQs I can find but can't locate a solution.
Has anyone similar experience or recommendations?
__thanks very much!!
