Newbie question -- Installing with Adaptec 2940
I'm trying to install debian 1.1 from the Infomagic CD set, and using the
boot1440.bin image for the boot disk I can't get it to recognize my 2940
SCSI adapter. I have a hard disk and a Jaz drive on the SCSI card, and
an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM.
I found the directory of patches for the adaptec cards, but don't know
how to use them. I also found the special kernels on the ftp site but
couldn't figure out which one if any would work. Finally, I tried a
variety of 'boot:' parameters with no luck.
Can someone point me in the right direction? I realize this is an old
question but I've been working at it for a while with no success.
Thanks.
