Megan, do you know the jumper settings for the KFQSA ?
Or anyone else ?
Yesterday I did another try.
The KDA50 works now at address 172150, with the KFQSA removed. The command "show qbus"
finally lists the controller.

Antonio named I link for KFQSA documents but they don't have documents online for it.
How do I have to set jumpers for this board?

My VAX4000 found the RA-92, attached to the KDA (DUA0).
The userguide of the KDA50 refers to a programm called MDM in order to do some diagnostics with the KDA and FORMAT the harddrive.
My idea is to boot NetBSD over Ethernet and install it on the RA-92 (there are no other drives installed in the VAX!).
Can BSD find the drive directly, format it and be installed on it, or do I have to need a special programm as MDM to format the drive?


Pierre
