[Oberon] Problems with Adaptec 7890

[Patrik Reali]

Hi!

This is strange, because the driver was developed using exactly the same
adapter, and it worked fine under bluebottle; only difference: I never tried
to boot from a CD, because my Dell Precision 410 did not support this (the
machine is now 5 years old).

Anyway, I'll check the code: I don't like the "RejectMessage" bit.... as a
first guess, the problem happens during the bus scan (the driver detects the
devices on the bus): apparently one device rejects a message, and is thus
not detected.

The fact that the CD works with other machines proves that it is correctly
burned. Booting works because is boot image is loaded by the BIOS of the
machine. Then, once oberon starts running, it loads the scsi driver and
tries to load the rest of the system with it,

And this time I see you are booting bluebottle instead of native.
