(nope, I don't know the exact sysinstall screen where you'd : type that in, it's been a while since I've done an install like that) Thanks for the clue. Here are the steps I did to get everything to work. 1) Get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/cam/2.2CAM-19980716-SNAP/floppies/boot.flp 2) Make a bootable floppy from above image and boot it. 3) Select kernel developer for distribution to install. 4) When specifing the media, select FTP and the URL. Specify a URL of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/cam 5) After install, cd /usr/src/sys and build a new kernel and install it 6) Save old cam tree mv /usr/src/sys /usr/src/sys.cam.save 7) Use 2.2.8 CD to install all sources 8) Use cvsup to bring everything up todate. 9) Follow directions from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/cam/README on how to apply the 2.2 cam patches. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Larry Baird Global Technology Associates, Inc. | Orlando, FL Email: lab@gta.com | Tel 407-380-0220 FAX 407-380-6080 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
