Re: Mac 7200 (PPC) sees Promise controller.. BUT NO DRIVES
Interesting notes:
init=/bin/sh DOES get me to a shell! And everything works fine.
HOWEVER: Booting WITHOUT init=/bin/sh (even with the 601 bug thingy turned
on, which I really doubted would solve the problem anyhow), I get the same
problem... oh, and for some reason the keyboard is also screwed up.
Instead of:
qwertyuiop
I get:
-=\=/ wqdgsh
No kidding.
The last things I see on the screen when I get the problem are: (And yes I
am having to TYPE this stuff by hand, since the system is hard-locked):
(At the top, it scans for and finds the hard drive and CD-ROM drive)....
