Hello
I'm using Netbsd 1.4 on an ebsa285 SA110 boardusing NFS drive as a root =
device.
I added a Seagate st19171W (Wide) SCSI drive and AHA2940UW (PCI) =
controller on a PCI backplane.
Support for these devices is configuerd into the kernel.
The system boots ok off NFS and sees the the Adaptec device on the PCI, =
sees the SCSI bus and sees the st19171 OK (reports what look like =
correct drive parameters etc...). The drive becomes sd0.
Trouble starts when I try something like
disklabel /dev/rsd0 or disklabel /dev/sd0=20
Then the red LED comes on the Adaptec, the green LED comes on on the =
drive and the system freezes unrecoverably (power down required).
The drive has been partitioned and has file system on it. This was all =
set up using Netbsd 1.4. on an intel 586 box. There everything seems to =
work fine. sd0 partitions can be mounted, files copied etc...no problem.
Any ideas why the problem with the ebsa285 SA110 board?
Thanks
David
