Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, This was sent earlier today to Peter daSilva, who probably is not the right person to answer this hardware type question. Ahhh, the perils of maintaining a FAQ :-) My only holdup on a virtual domain at this time is discussion as to shell access and I had the brilliant idea :) I'd just install FreeBSD and do it myself, to heck with all of the ISPs out there each with a different set of rules. I *do* realize I need ot use 35-60MB of my boot disk (my SCSI hard disk) and I saw my Adaptec card on your list of accepted hardware, will assume a Micropolis 3243AV SCSI 4.29GB drive will also be supported. What I want to do however, is run FreeBSD off a Jaz cartridge/disk (1GB removable storage from iOmega) I don't see *any* support for removable storage except CD-ROM, which isn't really "removable storage" ;-] I bought my Jaz for cross-platform compatibilty (I'm on a Pentium and want to work with Mac's and Unix boxes) so I am suspecting FreeBSD will handle it just like it would any SCSI hard disk, but if it *won't* then I can't consider running my own Unix box to be a viable solution to my domain/ISP-rules problem and will have to hold off on going with FreeBSD due to budget concerns. I'd *really* appreciate an honest answer and timely one ;) I've been searching around for answers on this for nearly two weeks, and to me, after 12 years online, hours is too long, not weeks! I know, I'm spoiled. ADthanxVANCE! -sry Sarah R.
