Can anybody help me? I'm having a problem so strange, that even
my dealer seems unable to help me. After having installed ISC 3.2,
(I have a 8Mb 386sx with 387sx Adaptec 1542B CDC 178Mb and Seagate ST-1096
80Mb) I decided to make a MS-DOS partition on the ST-1096. I booted
under MS-DOS, made a low-level format, and tried to boot from the floppy
boot disc. The message 'Booting the UNIX system ...' pops up and after a
while nothing more happens. If I pull out both discs and tries again
it says (correctly) aha_init: found 0 SCSI drives.

This is very strange since: 1) I haven't changed the hardware one bit, and
it worked very well before. 2) Both drives works perfectly under MS-CRAP.

I've tried almost anything thinkable; using fresh copies of my bootdisc;
swapping the CDC and Seagate; running only with (either) one; formatting
under MS-DOS ...
