I gave this a few days before re-submitting... If anyone can shed any light on the following problem, it would be __very__ much appreciated. Best wishes, Ric > I have a 2nd FreeBSD box that I use for testing configurations before > applying them to the main server. The FreeBSD installation is the 2nd > (dedicated) disk; disk 1 is Windows 98. > > I have just installed an "Iwill 2930C SCSI Adapter" which seems to be a > clone of the Advansys ASC3050 SCSI card.
