This URL is stale.  www.mylex.com redirects to a sub-page of
www.lsilogic.com; lsilogic.com seems to cover Mylex RAID adapters but
has little to no mention of BusLogic.  google finds:

  http://www.lsilogic.com/files/support/mylex/hbas/mmunix-readme.txt

and related pages; but none of them seem to point to actual downloadable
files.

A "blc" driver is included in the default OSR5 ISL kernel on the CD-ROM.
What happens if:

> 7. At "Boot:", type "restart link=blc Sdsk=blc(0,0,0,0)
> Srom=wd(0,0,0,0)"

... here you use "defbootstr Sdsk=blc(0,0,0,0) Srom=wd(0,0,0,0)",
without the BTLD?  What kind of BusLogic HBA does VMware emulate -- is
it something newer than the OSR5 internal driver supports?

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
