I hope this is on topic, it can't be far off ;=)
I am trying to install NetBSD on my MicroVAX 3100. I would like to
install it on the RZ56 which is in its own expansion box. The problem,
or so I am told, is that the drive as it is needs to be told to spin up
and NetBSD doesn't do that.
It has been suggested that there might be a jumper to tell it to spin up
automatically. Does anyone here know if that is the case, and if so,
where it is?
I don't know about jumpers, but if you do a SHOW DEV from the console
">>>" prompt does this spin the drive up for you? Is this good
enough?
If not, I suppose you'll have to chalk this up as yet another "supported
by NetBSD but doesn't work" bug...
