I'm having problems with the NETGEN portion of a Novell
2.15 SFT installation.  My server is just a PS/2-30-286
with standard IBM 20M hard disk (not much, but this is a
toy network for experimentation only).  I can't seem to
specify the internal hard disk properly to NETGEN.  The
manual indicates that I should specify it as an AT-type
drive on channel 0, but when I try this the installation
process fails with a "no drives found" message.  The drive
is working just fine (I've been running DOS off it for a
month or so now).  I just took the default channel 0
settings.  The manual seems to tell me that I shouldn't
have to do anything to prepare an internal drive for which
the driver is built-in to Netware.   The machine has 2M
installed, and a WD8003E (which has also been working
fine).   I'm using the Clarkson Packet Driver and BYU
Novell drivers for it.  What am I doing silly here?

By the way, the only other disk driver option shown is the
PS2-30-286 MFM controller.  Even though the manual implies
that MFM controllers are only on MCA PS/2's I gave it a try
and it fails much earlier with an ABEND: unable to reset
controller message.
