Hi
I tried to install RISCBSD but it failed.

I have a RISCPC 600 with SA with 24 DRAM and 2 MB VRAM. I have the orininal IDE drive and 2 SCSI drives. The SCSI card is the CUAMA SCSI 2.
The drives are 3067 MB Quantum and 1034 MB IBM. The last I use for RISCBSD.
I have one RISCOS partion 400.1 MB, 600  remains for RISCBS.
I run bb_riscbsd and  RISOS use the cylindrs 0 -1896 and I set the the cylinder 1897 as starting cilinder for RISCBSD.

Booting RISCBSD
I use the bootloader riscbsd.SA110-4740
Root devive /dev/rd0a/
Swap device /dev/sd1b/
ram disc 1440 kb

A lot of messages appears on the screen about the machine configuration.
I have made a note of the important messages.
