SYNOPSIS:     Tips on installing a Toshiba notebook with a docking station

OS RELEASE:   2.1

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     Toshiba notebook docking station


SYMPTOMS:

Solaris 2.1 for X86 installation hangs at various points.


DESCRIPTION:

Typically, you install X86 on a supported Toshiba Notebook Computer like
the T4600C using a DeskStation IV docking bay. 

Presumably you are using the Adaptec 154x C(F) HBA through a DeskStation
IV docking bay.  If so, the HBA will not work unless the docking bay has
been configured for high speed DMA.  The high speed DMA will not work
through the docking bay to a T4600 or T4700 unless you change one of the
configuration switches. 

Otherwise, installation will hang at various points.


SOLUTION:

On older models of the DeskStation IV (PA2700U with 8 DIP switches)
switch 7 must be turned off. 

On newer models of the DeskStation IV (PA2701U with a single
configuration switch on the back) the switch must be set to off (to the
left).
