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. _________________________________________________ James D.
