Source : Walnut Creek CD-ROM Free BSD 2.2.2

Floppy Image: I have tried the one on the CD and I tried the image from
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.2-RELEASE/floppies/newer/boot.flp

Hardware:

aha-2842vl (adaptec VLB SCSI Controller)
		Maxtor 540 hd
		Sanyo 4x CD-ROM
AMD DX4-100 CPU
Geneo Motherboard
Generic muti I/O Card w/ 16550 chip set 
		com1:	3f8/4
		com2:	2f8/3
		lpt0:	378/7
Diamond Speed Star (VLB Video Card)
(NO IDE HD OR CD-ROM's)

PROBLEM: The boot disk fails to intialized the scsi controller, In the
Visual editor every other scsi controller comes up and I remove them since
the aha2842 is listed unde PCI devices. when I quit the Visual setup It
scans for device but I don't see it scaning for aha0 or aic0 or any thing
vaguely resembling my controller. I would like a image disk specific to my
system like what is issued with Linux.


(This system had Linux on it before and windows 95 recently. The Hardware
is in perfect condition.)

Thank you in advance for any help you may provide.
