i have been having problems with booting from xenix on the new adaptek 2070 rll controller. the installation process goes without a hitch, but when i boot from the hard disk i get a bunch of error messages including "not a directory," "/boot not found," and "stage 1 boot failure." i can still boot from the floppy with the root on the hard disk. i suspect the problem is that the xenix bootstrap program on the hard disk makes some assumptions about the characteristics of the hard disk which are not correct. probably the bootstrap program on the floppy obtains these parameters from somewhere rather than making asumptions about it. i will welcome any suggestions about how to solve this problem. i can adjust the pulse step rate and the interleave factor. thanx very much. nasser
