I'm guessing here, but i think that their are two problems (possible
related? i don't know). One is the 1.2 installation disks. The second
is the ICD Pro Utilities.
ICD numbers the devices connected to the TT scsi port 8-15 and devices
connected to their Adscsi host adapter 0-7. Since i don't need the host
adapter (the TT has a scsi port), my drives are numbered 8 and 9.
The aptck.ttp program cannot find anything when given the arguments s00.
However, if i run 'aptck.ttp a00' (i have nothing connected to the acsi
port) I get the info on my internal scsi drive:
Device : a00 (ACSI target 0 lun 0) [unknown]

aptck doesn't seem to be liking the drive too much (why all the bad
sectors? ICD doesn't report this). I have formatted my drive with ICD
to be AHDI compatible. When i start the loadbsd.ttp program, it does
correctly report my drive "sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0". Though i'm
still not able to open a shell even with the new 1.2 miniroot. :(
any ideas?
