I have a Compaq ProSignia server with a 486 processor and two 535MB SCSI =
hard-drives.  The machine has 32 MB of RAM.  I haven't seen any =
documentation on whether or not this is supported by freeBSD. =20

The reason for this question is due to several failed attempts at =
installing the software.  The macine boots to the actual install screen. =
 I choose 'novice' install and it tells me that there are NO DISKS =
FOUND!  Was I to set this up in the Kernel config?  Yes, but did not see =
anything pertaining to the SCSI controller found in my system.  It is =
Compaq of course. =20

Do you have any suggestions?  BTW, this machine has to CD-ROM drive so I =
am trying to download all the software.  I have the /bin directory =
copied into the /FREEBSD directory on a blank DOS partition.

TIA,

Russ Peters
