help: I can't install FreeBSD 4.3 on Tekram DC-390U3W Card.

Post by Croesus S » Fri, 24 Aug 2001 03:20:39



I try to install FreeBSD 4.3 on a system with Tekram DC-390U3W and
IBM 18G U160 Harddisk. However it's failed to install.
I know that Tekram has provide driver and kernel image for 4.2,
however I cannot find kernel image for 4.3.

Did anyone know how to install the fresh freebsd 4.3 on such system,
or where can i get a kernel image for install..

thank

Have you tried taking the 4.2 image & using vn(4) (the vnode disk driver)
to mount the boot floppy & make some changes?

1. Tekram DC-390U3W isn't recognized at boot

Like the title says, I can't get Linux (2.4.1) to recognize that there is
a 390U3W card when the system is booting.  Once Linux is booted I can
load the sym53c8xx module, no problem.  Temporarily I put the insmod
statement in rc.local.  But now I would like to boot my entire system
from SCSI (no IDE drives), and I am getting frustrated.  

But I need to recognize the SCSI
card at boot time so that I can make swap partitions on it, not to
mention the fact that I don't like having to insmod the driver myself.

I had an Adaptec 2940UW before, and it recognized the card no problem. I
posted this to comp.periphs.scsi week ago with no responses.  

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John
