Re: Misc i386 questions
I missed that (deprecating buslogic). Sadly, Fusion on a Mac defaults to buslogic, but doesn’t put it in the config file. Anyway, switching to lsilogic worked like a charm. Thank you!

Alternately, you should be able to switch the VM to use the mpi driver by editing the .vmx file for your VM (after shutting down the VM first). Just change the lines like: scsi0.virtualDev = "buslogic" to: scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic" VMWare doesn't even support the buslogic driver on 64-bit guests these days. New VMs created by VMWare fusion use lsilogic by default. - todd

The bha driver is no longer supported by OpenBSD. You should use SATA or IDE as the disk type in VMWare. - todd

There’s a popup in the config for “Bus Type” and you can select “SCSI” or “IDE”, “SATA” and “NVMe”. On the 6.0 installation, using “SCIS”, I get: bha3 at pci0 dev 16 function 0 "BusLogic MultiMaster" rev 0x01: apic 1 int 17, BusLogic 9xxC SCSI bha3: model BT-958, firmware 5.07B bha3: sync, parity scsibus2 at bha3: 8 targets, initiator 7 sd0 at scsibus2 targ 0 lun 0: SCSI2 0/direct fixed sd0: 8192MB, 512 bytes/sector, 16777216 sectors > What happens if you change that? Not sure what you mean by “that”. There is no other option for SCSI. If I change it to “IDE”, for example, I get a “wd0” device: pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0 pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x01 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 pcib0 at pci0 dev 7 function 0 "Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x08 pciide0 at pci0 dev 7 function 1 "Intel 82371AB IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 configured to compatibility, channel 1 configured to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: wd0: 64-sector PIO, LBA, 6144MB, 12582912 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2’ Note that’s on 6,3 > And to be clear -- when you say it doesn't see the SCSI drive, how > are you not seeing it (i.e., what did you do to "see it" and what > was the result?).

Re: Misc i386 questions
Doh! set tty com0 Alix is coming along OK now. Still have questions about i386 and SCSI. . .

Misc i386 questions
Hi. In my odyssey to get larger disks on my Alix machines, I bought some 16G CompactFlash cards. I put install65.fs on a card and tried to boot it on the Alix, but it just reboots after it loads the kernel. Meanwhile, the VM I used to dd the install65.fs file to the CF card is running 6.0, so figured I should update it (with a reinstall, rather than updates). I tried to boot bsd.rd and install 6.5, but it didn’t see the SCSI drive on the VM (but 6.0 did with no issue). I even downloaded install65.iso and tried to install on a brand new VM (VMware Fusion 11.5 on a Mac running Mojave) with a SCSI drive, but nope. IDE drives are seen just fine. So. . . did I just miss something about i386 and SCSI support? Any suggestions on what to do with the Alix board? I’m going to see if I can install on the CF card from the VM next. Sean
