Hello,
I have recenlty aquired a DIGITAL Personal Workstation 433a, and would =
like to run NetBSD on it.
But SRM does not recognize my SCSI controller (Adaptec 2940UW), the =
netbsd kernel does when i boot the install floppies.
I have been able to do the installation to my disk, but after a power =
cycle i cannot boot off my disk.
How can i make a boot floppy which boots off my scsi disk ?, without =
another NetBSD system handy (i have none to date, except for the =
not-booting alpha).
Thank you,
Terrence Vergauwen
