Hi all, over here we are using an MVME2604 CPU-board, running OS9, with a SCSI-disk. This is working allright. Now we want to find out whether Linux is working, so I downloaded bootfull.bin from Debian, the woody one, and it doesn't recognize the SCSI-disk Below is the output, generated by the boot-process.
