Hi, (in need of help)

I have just spent the afternoon yesterday backing up and reformating my
(425MB)
harddisc with a (250MB) partition for RiscBSD.

Everything went fine until it came to installing RiscBSD.

The kernel doesn't recognise the ATAFS on a RapIDE32 interface card in
my
RiscPC.

ATAFS is a Filecore compliant FS, so that it *should* work with the
RiscBSD
kernel (4626, I think), unless of course it uses the ADFS_DiscOp SWIs
directly,
but surely it would be much wiser to use the FileCore_DiscOp SWIs as
they
pass control to other FS's.

Does anyone have the same problem, or am I alone?
Is there any solution other than either recompiling the kernel (which I
can't do)
or modifying it directly? (probably close to impossible!)
One solution is to attach the harddisc to the ADFS IDE connector, but
that would
defeat the object of having a EIDE interface.

Any response would be a great help.

Cheers,
Daniel Blueman
