I would like to know if it is possible to get the latest 2.1.5-release of F= reeBSD from Walnut Creek CDROM - or should I go for a 2.2-SNAP-release instead? Do you = think it = could solve my problem? Or could a later release of a boot floppy do the tr= ick? I don=B4t seem to get anywhere trying to install the 2.1.0-release of FreeB= SD, which I got = on a CD from Walnut Creek this spring. The boot disk seems to recognize the= NCR 53C810 = PCI SCSI-controller (PCI-SC200-card) on the ASUSTeK P55SP4-motherboard (lat= est BIOS = version) and also the two HP Surestore SCSI-harddisks (C3724, 1 GB and C372= 5, 2 GB)as = well as the Iomega Jaz-drive (1 GB) and the Toshiba CD-player (XM-3701B). BUT: In the installation program I can=B4t access anything but the Jaz-disk= (sd2 - only a = partition table of this is presented, no disk choices before that), althoug= h I have been = able to boot and install WIN95, OS/2 Warp 3 and Win-NT 3.51 from primary pa= rtitions on = sd0 and sd1 without any problems. I use the OS/2 Boot Manager. Thanks in advance for a helpful answer. Greetings...UNIX is nice(1)...or how they put it...
