Hi,

My apologies if this is a FAQ; I am a brand-new user of NetBSD/arm32 and I
haven't found any clues to my problem yet...

Basically I have installed BSD 1.4 using a rather round-about route; I
couldn't get the 1.4 install to work so instead I set things up using an old
1.3 beta CD I found and then copied the 1.4 sets into the RiscBSD partition.
This is all on the internal IDE drive of a Risc PC with StrongARM.

It all boots up fine and works when my Powertec SCSI-3 card is physically
removed from the machine, but when its installed NetBSD fails to boot.  The
kernel goes through printing its messages about what hardware is installed,
prints a line about SCSI and then hangs.  There is a single hard disc
connected to the SCSI card.

I don't need to actually access the SCSI drive under NetBSD, I'd just like to
be able to boot it without removing the card.  Any suggestions?

TIA,
Carl
