Subject: Adaptec 1542B, Bios disabled, panics
Date: Sun, 10 Sep 1995 21:20:45 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19950911012045.PUWBARoN2i1Kb6lqHNApTg8G9wZyjK8pG2vVD0ZPXkk@z> (raw)
I'm trying to boot DISK1. Mount fails and panic ensues.
Booting from Seagate 850Meg EIDE with a Promise 2300
controller (controller BIOS enabled to get LBA on a 33Mhz
486SX - 8 Meg - Local bus - AMI Bios motherboard)
I have an Adaptec 1542B configured with BIOS disabled
and I/O ports starting at 230 (hex). I've got an entire
115 Meg Conner SCSI drive set aside for Plan9 in whatever
partitioning it wants.
I got as far as I did with Plan9 by disabling BOOT MANAGER
(setting the DOS partition active). There is no free space
on the 850Meg EIDE drive. I wanted Plan9 on the little
SCSI drive that I wasn't using.
Somehow, I just feel like Plan9 has not put any sort of file
system on the SCSI drive. The one odd thing is that Adaptec
supplies a partitioning utility (AFDISK). Maybe I haven't
done something right with the partitioning of the SCSI drive.
Is anyone else running Plan9 off a 1542 with BIOS disabled?
Thanks,
