Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get the install netboot kernel to
recognize the SCSI harddrives on the VaxStation 4000/90?

Everything boots fine on 2 different machine but sysinst does not find a
hard drive so i can not install to hard disk.

Some time ago ( < netbsd 1.5 ) the SCSI of the vs4000/90 where not supported
as per the newgroup archives, is it possible that the changes never got
built into the install netboot kernel??

Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks and happy new year bsd folks!!

Cheers Joe
