Canada > David, I cannot speak for the FreeBSD design team, but from my personal experience, the kernel only supports 850/950 based cards. Apparently, the chip on this card is quite similar to the seagate ST-01 chip, and as such the same driver works for both. I have done some work (not FreeBSD related) with the ST01, and I can tell you that it is a memory mapped only device. Make sure that you have included the sea0 driver in your kernel, and that the memory window, and IRQ settings match your card's settings. Boot with the -c option so that you can adjust these as necessary. The driver only knows about certain ROM versions of the future domain card. If you look in sea.c you will see the strings that it tries to match. If your card has a different ROM version, you might want to try hacking the sea.c driver so that it knows about it. Good Luck! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Webster Network Manager / Special Projects Dataradio Inc. 200-5500 Royalmount Ave. TEL: +1 514 737 0020 Town of Mount Royal, QC, CANADA H4P 1H7 FAX: +1 514 737 7883 http://www.dataradio.com Email: awebster@dataradio.com
