I ran into this problem myself. freeBSD does not currently support ultra/66 controllers. Depending on the controller you have you can still install Linux through some convoluted steps. 1> plug your hard drive into the built in IDE interface on your motherboard and install Linux 2> Rebuild the kernel with the appropriate ultra/66 support and possibly a patch also 3> Move the drive back to the ultra/66 controller and with any amount of luck it will start and run :-) /Jeff On Sun, 16 Apr 2000, jon miller wrote: > Hello, > I'm looking for an alternative to linux, since I have a new > computer that linux isn't installing onto currently.
