As i mentioned several times, i use the KFQSA as the controller for my root
disk here in my 4000/300. Maybe 1.5 also knows how to boot from it, for now i
get the booter via MOP and do a "boot rd(0)netbsd". KFQSA is standard MSCP, so
it should work. (Maybe it was ra instead of rd, didn"t use the box for a
while now).
But you might want to visit the firmware of this controller to set up the
thing to fit your needs. So you should search through the archive at port-vax,
the programming was also mentioned several times, in the worst case i kept this
mail in one of my archives and could forward it.
