Hi, I'll be putting together a box, that I want to put FreeBSD on. However, I'm not quite sure if the hardware I want to get is supported. I've been recommended a Tyan motherboard with the AIC7895 SCSI controller and looking at the release notes for 3.0, that should be supported. I'm also looking into getting an Asus motherboard and getting the BT-958 SCSI controller. I can't see that BT-958 is supported, from the 3.0 release pages, but the readme for CAM says it supports it. I guess my question is, if I go for the Buslogic controller, will FreeBSD be able to find it? I'm a little unsure about if CAM comes with FreeBSD or not, and how "complete" it is. The readme for CAM says that you'll have to get CAM and install it after you've installed FreeBSD, while the 3.0 release notes says the SCSI subsystem has *almost* completely been replaced with CAM. However, the Handbook, section 12.2.1.2. (Jordans picks) also states you need to install CAM afterwards. I'm just not sure what I should listen to. Any input is welcome! :-) Thanks in advance, Jo B.
