Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm getting frantic here.    It's 
complicated, but please bear with me as I really need some help.

I have an A2000 with an A2630 030/25 board and an Oktagon 2008 
SCSI controller.    This is the OLD system.

I've just bought a GVP A2060 68060/50 board.   This has SCSI on 
board.    This is the NEW system.

I also have two SCSI Hard Drives.  One is a 540 Meg Quantum with 
4 FFS partitions.  the other is a 4.3 GIG IBM with 4 PFS2 
partitions.     This used to be perfect.  All worked well.

Witjhe the new system, the early-boot screen didn't recognise the 
IBM/PFS drive.   HDToolBox did find it, so I assumed that this was 
a problem with PFS2.   I created a FFS partition on it and this was 
recognised, so the PFS disgnosis seemed confirmed.

Much swapping of boards occurred (I can install these things in the 
dark by now!!).   Every time the old system worked OK but the new 
one only recognised FFS partitions.

Now comes the major problem.   I used ExpertPrep, the GVP 
equivalent of HDToolBox, and that said that the PFS partitions 
were not automaount.    Ah ha, I thought, set them to automount 
and all will be well.   Ooops.   Now the new system behaves as 
before - eraly boot doesn't recognise the PFS partitions, but 
HDToolBox does.   The old system - NOTHING recognises the 
HDD at all.   I am stuffed, this is my live Motel data.   I do have 
backups,  but two months old because the machine lost a memory 
board and I couldn't run the CD writing software.

Any ideas would be really appreciated

Regards

Tony
