| | | | | | | | | | I'm sure John Fieber will scream at me concerning some magic symbol buried *somewhere* in this, but I can't find the last mail he sent me about such things so if my fears prove correct, we can just fix it for the release. Notes: svn path=/branches/RELENG_2_2/; revision=869

* Add an entry about slow starting SCSI CD-ROM:Ollivier Robert1996-10-191-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When I booted my system without the above option, the CDROM could not respond in time to the bootup probe of devices and was "missed". When I tried to access the device I got the "Device not configured" error message. I rebuilt the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option and the problem went away.

| | | | | | | | | | NOT being maintained, that I vote for killing this document soon and moving everything into the Handbook. The FAQ needs to be "driven" a lot more aggressively than it has been, and since that's clearly never going to happen then we should kill it to halt the spread of outdated information.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | comprehensive re-write later. * Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old question into the answer. * Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and move it out of the installation section. * Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a lot of queries about this) * Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be particularly informative... * Correct typos and grammar, remove US-centric colloquialisms :-) and many more.

* Update the "CD-ROM not configured" question.Ollivier Robert1996-07-011-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "It would be good to point out that a machine that only has SCSI devices may also generate this message if an IDE CD-ROM is not configured as the Master device. Words like these might work ..." This generally means that there is no CDROM in the CDROM drive, or the drive is not visible on the bus. Feed the drive something, and/or check it's master/slave status. Submitted by: Neil Smith <ngs@sesame.hensa.ac.uk> with a small addition Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=391
