Dear All
I have been trying to install NetBSD on my PC at home but am experiencing
problems doing so. The installation program fails to detect my hard disk
which is an ESDI disk and even after going through all the questions on the 
install floppy ie telling it the type of disk and size etc it still fails.

I get the following messges on starting the install disk

ie0: unknown AT&T board type code 15 - I guess this is refering to my 
serial card which is a BOCA IO/AT card.

npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0-0xff:error reporting broken; using emulator.

My hard disk controller is a SmartCache DPT contoller Model PM3011E/75
with 4MB of cache mounted on a daughter board the irq is set to 14 and 
the port to 0x1f0 as per instructions.

The hard disk is a Maxtor XT-8760EH with the following physical parameters
Cylinders	1632
Sectors/Track	54
Data Heads	15

This is mapped to 744 cylinders, 62 heads and 28 sectors by the DPT controller.

I really am quite stuck and would be grateful for any sugestions :-)
