Hi there,
I got my hands on an old Turbochannel Alpha machine. I'm currently
in the process of attempting to install 3.3-Rel on it.
Unfortunately it does not detect any disks:

I have the distinct (bad) feeling this is due to:
# A single entry for any of these controllers (ncr, ahb, ahc, amd) is
# sufficient for any number of installed devices.
controller ncr0
controller isp0
#controller esp0
in GENERIC. I mean, esp is the driver for the 53C94 ncr scsi chip.
Is there any particular reason why it is commented out in GENERIC?
Floppy disk size limit maybe?
Any clues?
