Preconfiguration Information
Known Problems and Limitations
Because the NCR BIOS and the Solaris fdisk program may be incompatible, use
the DOS version of FDISK (or equivalent utility) to create an entry in the FDISK
partition table before installing the Solaris software. Create at least a 1-cylinder
DOS partition starting at cylinder 0. If the DOS partition isn’t created, the system
won’t reboot after Solaris installation.
An add-in card with the 53C815, 53C820, 53C825, or 53C825A controller can only
be used in a bus-mastering PCI slot. On motherboards with only two PCI slots,
both of the PCI slots are usually bus-master capable. On motherboards with three
or more PCI slots, and on motherboards with several embedded PCI controllers,
some of the PCI slots may not be bus-master capable.
Some PCI motherboards with the NCR SDMS BIOS and an embedded 53C810 or
53C810A controller do not work correctly with 53C82x add-in cards that also have
an NCR SDMS BIOS. Upgrading the motherboard BIOS, the add-in card, or both
may prevent these conflicts.
The SCSI Tagged Queuing option is not supported.
On some early PCI systems with the 53C810 or 53C810A chip on the motherboard,
the interrupt pin on the chip is not connected. Such a system cannot be used with
Solaris software.
