RE: How to use 200 GB Disk on Ultra10?
Dear members
Many thanks for all of your hints.
May someone suggest, from which alternetively PCI controller may also be
booted? I have enough free PCI slots.
If a working controller exists: Shouldn't it be possible to change the boot
device at the {ok} prompt, e.g.:
{ok} nvalias disk1 /pci....{whatever after a reset-all is added}/../..
(Assuming, default boot alias is "disk1")
Many thanks in advance,
Roland

Dear Roland,
dear listmembers,
the only solution I can think of is to use a PCI-IDE-Controller as readily
suggested. The tradeoff is that you always have to boot from CDROM (or NET,
floppy may be too small) in this case.
I do so for my U60 because I use a AHA29160 for this purpose. With the U60,
both Promise U100 and Promise U133 work well.
If you need further help on how to create a bootable CDROM (if you plan to
do
so), just let me know, however, you'll have to be patient until January,
10th
(when I am back in office and can access my systems).
Take care
