I'd also recommend knowing your hardware intimately. If not, go to windows control panel and write down the details of your sound card, video card, etc.... including irq, dma, i/o range. It never hurts and it may be a handy reference should you ever get in a jam making it all (or part) work. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of James Lim }Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 7:36 PM }To: Daniel Stehm; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Re: woohoo!
