Has anyone had any luck installing Linux on a drive that uses a Future Domain
chipset?

I've got a 386/25 4MB ram, DOS 5.0, Maxtor 7120sr SCSI Hard drive, Future
Domain chipset SCSI controller.

I've gotten the boot and root disks to work, but when I run the fdisk, I get 5
errors.  (I've got my drive partitioned into 4 32MB partitions)

I read that if FDISK cannot recognize my partitions, then I an "f**ked" (from
the documentation).  

Basically, I'm asking if anyone has gotten such a setup to work, and if so,
what's the method.  If not, is anyone working on a future domain compatible
version?

I understand that several people across the net are working on SCSI
implementations...do you think that they will work with a future domain
controller?

I'd dearly love to use Linux, (as it's a 32-bit OS from the start, rather than
a 16-bit emulating a 32-bit).

If anyone has run into this problem, either reply to the net, or to my 'home'
address.  

Many thanks.  Talk to y'all later.
