Howdy all,
I have a Gateway P5-90 that I installed Slackware '96 (aka 2.0) on an IDE
secondary drive. It also has an IDE cdrom drive as well.
I am going to install an Adaptec AHA-2940UW card and SCSI cdrom, so I can
also install SCO Unixware, and perhaps NT4.0 (my boot drive is in a
removable tray, so I can change OS's quickly. Just can't share files).
The SCSI-HOWTO isn't exactly clear, as I think it addresses more of when I
am booting from a SCSI disk. The SCSI in my case will merely be the
CDROM, and perhaps in the future a tape backup and maybe optical drive.
So...
I noticed the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules does not have a specific AHA2940, or
even AHA294* line to uncomment. Do I need to perhaps download a driver
somewhere? Add a line to this file?
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks.
Bruce S.
