Hello, I want to install FreeBSD on a system (detailed below) that has an on-board adaptec 7800 family SCSI controller as well as a 3com 3C905TX NIC, I understand the 2.2.6 distribution does not support either but that I might have luck with one of the 3.0 snapshots. Could you place me on the path to an install floppy that would work? Can I build 3.0 over ftp? System Details: Asus P2B-LS board with onboard Adaptec 2940U controller (on boot I see a message about the 7890 BIOS.) 3Com 3C905TX 10/100 PCI NIC EIDE CDrom (on onboard eide) HP Colorado 24i internal DAT. (on 50pin scsi connector) 3 Quantum atlas II drives on the ultra 2 scsi connector. I guess an option is always to get a PCI scsi controller supported by the 2.2.6 distribution (as well as a different NIC), but I am sure there is another way... slow and painfull perhaps, but I am looking at it as an opportunity to have a bleeding edge kernel. Problems.. I don't have any running freebsd machines I can use to help build this one; I have solaris on a sparc and various microsoft products on another system (with the same type of NIC). Any suggestions? --- Graham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
