ISC vs Adaptec 1542b vs 80387

[Phillip M. Vogel]

Due to a change in system requirements at bartal, I decided to
remove the 80387 from the unix box, and put it in the dos box
where I run most of my CAD applications.  Well, The unix machine
won't get past "loading the unix system" wit the 387 removed.
However, if I also pull the SCSI controller, it will boot just
fine from the st-4096.  I checked the cmos, and all is correct,
as far as I can tell.

Is this for real? do you need to have a math coprocessor to run a
SCSI disk? This may be the most ridiculous thing I've seen since
they announced that you need to have a coprocessor to maintain
system security...

I'm open for suggestions.
