[....] Oops, sorry - I'm using a SCSI CD-ROM drive via a PCMCIA SCSI card. I've grabbed the boot floppy and stuff for 2.1 and it has worked fine. It's just that I don't see why those patches and boot floppy aren't added to the FreeBSD distrib. If not folded in, they could just be placed in a special directory with a README on how they are unsupported/unofficial. I figure the PAO code is a non-optional kind of thing - people who have PCMCIA SCSI cards really need it. Of course, I'm biased ;> -Oly (A post-2.1 boot floppy would also have to be built as there isn't one yet)
