In article <local.mail.freebsd-questions/19398D273324D3118A2B0008C7E9A5697E6825@SIT.platinum.corp.microsoft.com> you write: >that it would boot. Does FreeBSD support the Compaq SmartArray Controller >2? If so, have I missed something when configuring for installation? Yes, FreeBSD -STABLE and -CURRENT support the Smart Array controller. However, this support is not in 3.2R, AFAIK. You will either have to install with just normal SCSI support (if you have other SCSI devices) and then build a custom kernel with the `ida' device, or make a custom boot disk with the `ida' device. The latter is required because this device is not in the GENERIC kernel. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
