Which I understand is using >Adaptec 7895 MB controller. Will this work with FreeBSD? Yes. At least mine does. You need to run -current, you need CAM, and (last I checked), you need to have a kernel based on the March 12 source base. To install, you will need the CAM based floppy kernel. Look in /incomming. Once you have installed, and installed the cam-kernel via the fixit floppy, you will need to boot with -a at the boot prompt -- at least I did. Not sure that AGP is working, I chickened out and went with PCI for my first graphics card. So far, I don't have working audio or serial, and have not tried RAID. Good luck: you will need it. +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
