David,
That jumper they reference in the manual isn't clear to my reading what
state it needs to be in. You may need to try both settings and see if it
makes a difference.
As for the additional messages that is to be sure you see output from the
hardware tests which should list the SCSI
On many newer motherboards you can enable or disable the SCSI in the
BIOS. You should make sure the SCSI is enabled. If the SCSI is enabled
you should get a message from the SCSI BIOS to hit some keys to enter the
SCSI configuration. This is all using the Motherboards firmware and

Okay, now we're getting somewhere (maybe). Looking in
the CMOS for firewire, I finally found the SCSI
controller setting. I never would have guessed it
would be under PCI configuration. Anyway, I enabled
that, and I disabled firewire, both ethernet ports (I
use wireless anyway), and both SATA
If the SCSI is enabled you should get a boot message and be able to go into
the SCSI configuration.
All SCSI controllers will list the devices found on boot, so if you aren't
seeing any devices you don't have it working right. Check the BIOS again
and check your cabling, and termination.

Well, after I did what I did everything worked. But if your not seeing any
SCSI devices then there is something else up.
As said. I'd double check the SCSI connection. I'd

What is your motherboard model ? if this is a
pre-made server what is the make and model ?

David,
How do you have the CD drive cabled? That motherboard has 68-pin SCSI
connectors, and SCSI CD's mostly have 50-pin connectors, there are a few
with 68-pin connectors, but it isn't common.
Do you have the CD terminated, and the SCSI on the motherboard's
termination set correctly?
This comes with OPTIONAL SCSI interface, u sure you
got the
board with the SCSI option ?
Well it has two SCSI ports on the motherboard, has an
option to enable/disable it in the CMOS, and was
advertised as having a SCSI Ultra 360 controller. If
it doesn't, I want my money back.
I don't replace parts that work fine, so yeah, they're carried over from
an old system. I wasn't whining about it having hiccups, merely asking
if it was the SCSI that was the problem, or if I need to look at
something else. I'm not used at the SCSI drives causing installation
issues, only
I recently purchased a Tyan S2895 motherboard and more

The source code is available, use it.

Subject: Re: Does FreeBSD have problems with SCSI CD-drives
I've got SCSI Plextor CD-drives in my computer (AMD Athlon XP-based),
and ATA harddrives. When I try to install FreeBSD 6.0 booting from the
CDs, it stops with Error, unable to load kernel. I tried first with
6.0, then with 5.4. Interestingly the 5.4 installer says Unable to load

I believe it is more incompatibilities with older BIOS and SCSI BIOS,
etc. I have an older MB that won't boot the SCSI CD. This is really
problematic as the system will boot the floppies, but cannot after booting,
find the boot device. I have to mount the cd and update from the mounted
cd.
Probably should've said that I have no problems booting from all other
bootCDs I've tried... even windows manages to do it (which in itself is
amazing since it dislikes SCSI greatly). I never had any problems with

Hi,
I can't boot my FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE (both with the stock kernel and
with a self-compiled kernel), if my AdvanSys SCSI Host Adapter (ISA,
ABP5140) is installed. The problem was also there while installing
FreeBSD, but I simply removed the SCSI card during the
installation. Without the card
