I have never had any joy getting RiscBSD to work with my system (200MHz
StrongArm RiscPC), which uses a 24 x SCSI CDROM drive, a Cumana SCSI2 card
and has a host of other SCSI peripherals. I could install an earlier
version (1.3 I think) on the reserved portion of my main IDE hard drive,
but never subsequently access it from the HD or configure it, so I gave up
and won't try again until SCSI is properly supported.
If anyone thinks I will have more luck with the 1.4 or subsequent version
please let me know. I am _not_ reconfiguring my main working system to
suit what would be for me a hobby OS.
