[nos-bbs] Hard drive issues?

[Chris Maness]

It will boot off of the CD just fine, but if I try to mount the SCSI
drive, it reboots instantly.  It did this with three different live
CD's.  I was even trying my FreeBSD install CD, but it won't read
ext4.

I also suspect the mobo.  I don't have another junker around that
would even take the SCSI card.  All my other PC's are too new.
