Hi,

I just installed 1.3a from the website over my previous 1.2
installation, and coinciding with the fitting of an ICS IDE
interface driving a cdrom.

Although my RiscBSD disc isn't hanging on the ICS interface, 
the supplied kernel 'RISCPC' and the installation kernel both
halt during startup immediately after noting that podule 0 is
an ICSIDE.

Is there any fix for this (apart from unplugging my ICS IDE card
every time I want to boot RiscBSD, which does work)?

System:
ICS IDE i/f is the latest v6, CDROM is ATAPI*8.
StrongARM RPC(I), 40meg RAM, 1meg VRAM, 200meg drive 4,
and Fireball 1080 drive 5 partitioned with about 500meg
for RiscBSD (both drives on motherboard IDE i/f).

Any help would be appreciated!

ps. Well done Causality for an excellent product ...
