I am having a problem to installing the Novell 2.2 on my system, just 
wondering anyone know or have the similar experience...
The problem is I want to install NW2.2 non-deicate on a ST238 drive 
using a 16-bit adpatec controller It was working fine, but all of sudden
when it comes to configurature NW ut..< something like that > it just hang
there and have the following message 

abend : Improper ROM parameter table for DISK controller

I try that on the IDE drive use those cheap 16-bit controller give me the
same exactly message. And I brought another 16-bit controller looks work     
better, but somehow that was a bad controller (floppy control doesn't work)
As a matter of fact, I want my NW2.2 on that 30meg ST238 drive, so I call
Novell they said the ST238 is not Novell certify drive haven't been tested
it might work, mitght not work...
So I was wondering if anyone know that how big the drive have to be a server
is it 30meg too small. or some'n wrong with the controller compatibility 
problem. cos it give me the exact same error message with I use my old 
IDE controller on the 125Meg drive.
I am going to get another RLL bigger harddrive ... so wondering anyone know
this problem and which RLL drive will work...

Any advise and suggestion is appreciate.
