I recently added a 1542A smart SCSI board and SCSI drive to nstar - and
am currently booting off the 2372B, and have the kernel built (running
386/ix 2.02) supporting the 1542 as the secondary controller. Is there
any way to configure the system to boot off the SCSI drive, and use
the drives connected to the 2372B additional drives?

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be possible, at least not from the menus. I suppose one could hack around in the HPDD configuration to make this work, IF you jumper the 2372 for secondary address so the Adaptec doesn't see it during power-on. Now if you go to the trouble to do this, then it should be possible to do what you're looking for. Whether that's something you want to undertake is another matter entirely. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, <well-connected>!ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 708 566-8911], Voice: [+1 708 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
