The disk driver "ad" which is the new default for 4.0-RELEASE is not working on my machine (details bellow). Is there any way to substitute it on the installation floppies, using the old "wd" driver? Or is there any other way of circumventing it during installation? Thanks in advance for any help, Leonardo Details: > The installation floppies were not able to label the disk, and > even while I partitioned it with the 3.4 floppies and went back > to 4.0 installation, the disk was not accessible. > > The problem seems to be with the driver, "ad".
