Compaq Proliant?? Does not see SCSI-disks
Hai.
I've been trying to get Raid working...................
Now I've made a not that good decision in buying a CompraQ proliant 1000.
At first it was a hell to get the machine past the bios errors.
Now I can get in the installation menu using rescue and root disks.
But no disks are beeing recognized. Do I need some special bootdisks?
It has a 1.05Gb disk on the onboard scsi-controller (together with a cdrom;
doesn't see that one either)
I installed Dos 6.0 on it (like it was a regular desktop).
Now I don't have a clue on how to move on.
Any hints and tips are welcome.
Regards
Frans Schreuder
