Hi! Again.
I have lost connection and my question went incomplete.
I try explain again.
I am not so strong in NetBSD, till now I was working on Linux.
Now I am preparing EISA server (Compaq Deskpro xl 560) with DAC960 Raid
Controler on EISA System Bus.
I have downloaded NetBSD 1.5T, snapshot 20010408.
When kernel is taking control over hardware, I can see on system console
messages that device "mlx !MX00076.CFG on EISA0 port 4 is not correctly
configured".
As I told, everything is configured, BIOS recognize system disk, DOS is
starting without any problem from this disk.
Can I send for kernel any start parameters which can help NetBSD recognize
my hardware, anythink like in LILO?
Thanks for your help
