Hi all,
I've got two SCSI disks:
>sd0 at scsibus0 targ 0 lun 0: <QUANTUM, LP240S GM240S01X, 6.3> SCSI2 0/direct
fixed
>sd0: 234MB, 1818 cyl, 4 head, 65 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 479350 sectors
>sd1 at scsibus0 targ 1 lun 0: <TOSHIBA, MK537FB, 6262> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
>sd1: 1014MB, 1980 cyl, 13 head, 80 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 2076758 sectors
This is its label:

In Booter 1.11.3, I'm trying to boot from a BSD device. Kernel name is
netbsd,
and there is a kernel binary called netbsd in the root directory on sd1a.
I've set
root SCSI ID to 1. I did not specify any partition name as there are only
three
partitions on that disk (1 = root, 2 = swap, 3 = unknown).
>Couldn't locate any partitions on SCSI ID 1. Cannot open kernel (1,?)netbsd.
The funny thing is, that the booter does NOT access SCSI disk 1 (an
external
disk) as instructed but I can hear it scrubbing on the internal SCSI disk
0.
Booting from a MacOS kernel file works great. NetBSD 1.3.2 on a Quadra
700/20MB
is happily talking to Our Linux system.
Any hints on that? Bug in Booter 1.11.3?
TIA
Joerg
