SCSI host adapter bootstrings

The adapter bootstring overrides the kernel's default configuration for a given host adapter. It has the following syntax:

adapter=driver(base, int, dma)

where:

driver

is the host adapter driver prefix

base

is the adapter I/O base address

int

is the adapter interrupt vector

dma

is the adapter DMA channel

If the kernel fails to recognize, or incorrectly identifies, your SCSI adapter at boot time, you can use the adapter bootstring to define it. For example, if you have an Adaptec 1522 board installed and the system fails to recognize it as configured, you would use a bootstring similar:

adapter=spad(0x340,11,0)
