Hy everybody,
I try to install NS 3.3 on a PC ( motherboard MSI 6163 440BX PIII) with an IDE disk ( from 1 Gb to 6.3 Gb ), I tried a lot of IDE hard disk. The CD ROM ATAPI EIDE and the IDE disk are on the same IDE cable.
The IDE disk is on Master and the CD ROM is on Slave.
The BIOS recognize the IDE disk and the CD ROM at the boot of the computer.
On the beta driver floppy I choose Adaptec 154x Series SCSI Adapter (v3.35) driver for the CD ROM and I choose EIDE and ATAPI device Controller (v3.35) for the hard disk.
And I add the IDE disk controller (v3.35) driver.
The installation begin but I have this ( for example ):
The boot disk of this computer is :
IDE Disk #1 ( Type 255) - 2317 MB
Enter 1 to install NEXT on this disk.
Enter 2 for advanced installation options.
---> 1
/private/etc/rc.cdrom: 30 Memory fault
/private/etc/rc.cdrom: 31 Memory fault
/private/etc/rc.cdrom: test: argument expected
CD-ROM boot procedure complete.
Please wait until it's safe
to turn off the computer.
killing all processes
continuing
It's safe to turn off the computer.
And then the installation fails.
Does anybody knows what I have to do ?
Do you think that I should downgrade the BIOS of the Motherboard ?
Another problem with another hard drive is that the installation fails because NEXTSTEP tells me that the hard drive must be with 512 byte/sector.
Must I check my hard drive with chkdsk on windows ?
How to format the hard drive with 512 byte/sector, is it a FAT 0 format ?
Another problem with another hard drive is the the following error after installation and reboot : wfts
What does it means ?
I have so many problems to install NS 3.3.
I search how NS 3.3 works during the installation. I search what I must do to have a success.
AND I search a listing of all the errors that I can have during a installation.
Regards.
David.
I believe that you need to put the hard drive and the cdrom on two different IDE cables. This is such a late reply that you may have gotten it working already. Have you?
I noticed you were using the beta floppy. Try using the Addl. Drivers floppy and use the IDE/ESDI driver. That works for me
