Hi, I'm trying to install 4.3 on a machine with an AHA-1502 card. In Win95, this runs OK with a 152x driver. When I boot from the CD-ROM, I get about 60-70 lines similar to the following: (probe0:aic0:0:0:0): ccb 0xc0bab400 - timed out, phase 0x0, state 1 aic0 is the 152x driver. Is this FreeBSD's way of letting me know that it doesn't support the AHA-1502 card? I've searched the freebsd.org site and the string "1502" doesn't come up anywhere. Whether or not it's causing any problems, it takes forever to run through all the timed out probes, so I'm anxious to avoid this. Also, I've tried running through the install screens, short of actually installing anything. The on screen instructions say that I should quit the partition editor and select boot manager installation if I'm installing FreeBSD on a second hard drive, in order to get the boot manager onto the first drive. However, the succeeding screens suggest that I'm going to install FreeBSD on the first drive, which has my Windows installation. Since it took four tries to get a Windows installation that wouldn't commit suicide, I want to avoid overwriting the first disk. I'm going to write an image of the first disk to a CD before installing anything, but can you confirm that selecting Boot Manager won't overwrite the whole disk? Bob Hall Know thyself?
