i have a question, and this is not strictly netbsd related, but
i though you guys might know...
i have a sun3 shoebox with 2 ESDI disks.. a Hitachi and a Maxtor 700+
meg (both about the same capacity)
i need to get them formatted so i can install netbsd on them for my
sun3... i am netbooting right now...
i took the box to school where we have a sun4 (ipx) and plugged them
in. the kernel never recogized them... but, when i went to the
prom, and did probe-scsi, the emulex showed up as Target 4, unit 1 and
unit 2. it couldnt recognize what type of disks, but it at least knew
it was there...
i checked the kernel config, and it looks like it should be configured
for up to 8 scsi devices. the existing 207meg drive is at Target 3.
can you guys think of any reason why sunos would not recognize the
drives??
thanx
