Bob,
I've been working with a couple of SCSI based systems recently, with the
testing release (etch). Possible issues could be: are your SCSI disks
on one host bus adapter; do you have any USB (or other interfaces) that
set up SCSI emulation mode, and if so, do you have any devices actually
attached; which boot loader are you using?
All three disks are on one SCSI controller, I think the CD and tape drive
are on the other controller. There's no USB devices attached and I'm using
GRUB.
If you have two HBA's, you might consider turning off the BIOS on the
one without the boot disk. This might be all you need to do.
What's an HBA...?
I've just had another look and there might be some sort of error message
getting put out onto the console, but it's scrolling too fast for me to
read it. Is there a way to view what's already been output on the
console...?
The very top line reads:
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
If I then hit return, I get dumped into some sort of shell, but there
doesn't seem to be many commands available. I'm totally at a loss about
what to do, maybe the netinstall was buggered and I need to install off
a DVD or something...?
Thanks,
