[indiana-discuss] installation in 640 x 480

[Earl Cahill]

Yip, it looks like I have adaptec scsi controllers.  Any idea on when adaptec could be included?  I bought these boxes largely to play around with indiana and if that's not gonna be possible for awhile, I can actually return them.  Good old fire sale :)

Thanks,
Earl

Hi Earl,
     D'oh, you're likely hitting another bug. Do you have Adaptec SCSI 
controllers? If you do, you're likely hitting: 
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=158. Unfortunately,
 due 
to redistribution issues and the goals of the Indiana release to be
 fully 
redistributable we can't ship the Adaptec drivers at this time, but if
 you 
feel like making your own distro off Indiana, the bug lists which
 packages 
have the necessary drivers.
                                 Thank you,
                                 Clay

 my hard drives weren't recognized.  I just bought a couple old va
 linux boxes and they have four scsi drives attached.
