Alex,

I have a 586 with an old scuzz card with no boot roms and a couple of
error-ful half-height drives.  The thing sounds like a jet powered
lawnmower when you turn it on.  But it works.

I simply leave the install floppy in the floppy drive, and when it gets
to the boot prompt, I do a 'boot sd0a:bsd' and it boots.

Prob solved.

Now you might be able to turn your boot capability on in the bios or the
scuzz bios.  That is up to you to figure out.

Have fun,

Linc

Thanks all of you that replied to my message.

I just saw the dmesg and you were right. It says that Host adapter Bios
disabled. Using default scsi device parameters. So how do I get to
enable
the scsi adapters bios ?
The adapter is AIC-7850 and the hdd is a seagate.

Thanks again for the help !

Best Regards
Alex Stamatis
