Subject: [9fans] Not using AHA-2940 .. kind of
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 11:03:29 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <JNENKONOPMBLIHLMIJEDCEAGCAAA.relberger07@uophx.edu> (raw)


I am hoping to get some feedback on this before I try it -- gotchas etc --
or if it will even work at all.  I already know that the AHA-2940 family is
not supported by plan9 (at the moment).  I have a big IDE disk that I want
to put plan9 on, but I have dos6.2/win2k on the scsi drive.  MSDOS6.2 uses
the first gig on the scsi, and it is has the win2k bootloader information on
it.  I want to use the win2k bootloader to run plan9 off of the IDE.

By using the bootloader on the unsupported scsi mean that plan9 won't run?
My assumption is that it doesn't matter because after the bootloader action
plan9 never needs the scsi goo.  Just would like to confirm if possible.

please advise --
