I figured since ahc was already CAMified it wouldn't be too bad, but just getting FreeBSD onto this box has become a challenge without IDE or AHC support. Attempting to bootstrap from NetBSD at this late stage was a laughable experience :( I'm supposing IDE is waiting on the work Soren is reproducing from his stolen machine/tapes as opposed to the atapibus/cam discussion on -alpha late last year. Currently NetBSD-current has support for ahc/ide, but alas it's ST550 support is flaky... The console barely works and it only supports the TGA from X, which I don't have. - Bruce ______________________ Bruce M. Walter, Principal NIXdesign Group Inc. 426 S.
