Stefan, I received your address from Gary at of the Freebsd Project Team in Walnut Creek. Gary said that you may be able to help me via either a installation method that you had developed or kernal/bootdisk that will allow me to install Freebsd v2.1 to my Compaq DeskPro XL 575. I have tried using the instruction that are available at the WEB site "http://tci00.uibk.ac.at:80/xl/", but I was unsuccessful. It was like a "Catch 22" situation. The WEB instructions were all base on LINUX Slackware distributions and not FreeBSD. I was required to obtain a kernel and place it on a DOS bootable disk that contain some file that were capable of re-addressing the memory location of the PCI driver. Unfortuately you had to have the kernel first, which meant that your system had to be working: frustrating! Any help will be appreciated. Thank You Very Much .. David Hodge dlhodge@netcom.com
