Hi, Leo and Waldi
About my reported bug, that the BOOT-kernel doesn't recognize my disks
(Invalid TOS partition table) Leo sent me an analyse program 'aptck'.
I have a Falcon 030 with TOS 4.04 vom 08.03.1993.

Below you see the output of your 'aptck'-programm
for my two SCSI disks CDC (sd1) and QUANTUM (sd2)
(The QUANTUM will be used for NetBSD)
I can't understand this output, but can only report the partition-list
I see and have created with "HDDRIVER V.2.71 by Uwe Seimet 1993 :
You see it as an comparision to the aptck-output on the right side.

Hope you can find somthing .
Thank you , Helmar
