Me again...

Back from holydays I tried to install FreeBSD on the alpha (AS2100
5/300). As I said before, I was able to boot. But with your disks the
system is not recognizing my CD drive :( . Unfortunately the ftp
installation is also not working :(( . The CD is connected to the NCR
SCSI adapter. I also connected a HDD to the controller because of the
problems with the Mylex controller (it is PCI).

My whish for Christmas would be a set of boot floppies which support my
DAC960, my NCR SCSI controller and with SCSI CD support.

Is this possible?
I'm willing to send out some fine German Christmas beer (strong, but
good :).

With best hopes,

Thomas

You could install from a Mylex iff its a PCI Mylex, and its recognized
by the SRM.  And if you have Mylex support in the boot floppy, which
you don't because I was trying to make the floppy as small as
possible.

Now that I've got the AS2100s working better, we should probably build
a -stable snapshot to make things easier for people like you.
