Rick,
first an Erratum: the correct name of the sync inhibit bit is
_sbic_inhibit_sync
^ When Your drives are
recognized, then Your partitions should be also. On startup, only drives are
listed. As mentioned before, the drives will be recognized by name, interface
type, and physical parameters. At the prompt "#" the "disklabel <drive>"command
shows some more or less interesting stuff and partitions. Btw, You don't
fortuitously use a second hd controller?? Then You should use the generic
kernel. The configure files suggest the a3000 kernel to be a very limited
one…if the generic doesn't fit into Your chipmem, try a lite one.
Nevertheless, with recognized drives You should reach the "/root device?"
prompt. Insert the installation floppy and proceed…
