Q: When installing on an EISA HP Netserver, my on-board AIC-7xxx
SCSI controller isn't detected.
A: This is a known problem, and will hopefully be fixed in the future.
In order to get your system installed at all, boot with the -c
option into UserConfig, but _don't_ use the pretty visual mode but
the plain old CLI mode. Type
eisa 12
quit
there at the prompt. (Instead of `quit', you might also type
`visual', and continue the rest of the configuration session in
visual mode.) Don't forget to install the kernel source code
distribution, you will need to install a custom kernel on those
systems.
Refer to the FAQ topic 3.16 for an explanation of the problem, and
for how to continue. Remember that you can find the FAQ on your
local system in /usr/share/doc/FAQ, provided you have installed the
`doc' distribution.
