As a result, I decided to go for the Diamond Fireport 40 which uses the NCR 53c875 chipset. From the docs, I thought the 875 was supported... The problem is that the FreeBSD driver does not seem to work on this card and chokes with a command failed error. I'm using a Seagate Hawk 4GB SCSI-2 Hard Drive with FreeBSD 2.2.6. So I decided to try out the new 3.0 beta (boot.flp) and it also chokes on the ncr boot probe for the hard drive. Here are the relevant lines: on FreeBSD 2.2.6... ncr0 rev 4 int a irq 12 on pci0:11 sd0(ncr0:2:0):COMMAND FAILED (9 ff) @ f0692c00 ncr0: aborting job... ncr0:0: ERROR (90:0) (8-a6-0) (0/5) @ (script a0:43000060). ncr0: script cmd=878b0000 ncr0: regdump:da 00 00 05 47 00 02 0f 71 08 00 a6 80 00 00 02. ncr0: restart (fatal error).
