Now I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a new PentiumPRO. (The machine has a functional NT partition already, so there are no instrinsic hardware problems). I've built a boot floppy using the rawrite utility, same as I did last time. However when it boots it is not finding my hard drive. All the SCSI devices come back with 'not found'. Here's my known hardware setup. Adaptec AHA2940 Ultra Wide PCI- to- Fast SCSI Host adapter. On this I have ID0 : Seagate St32430N Hard Drive ID5 : Nec CD-ROM Drive. I've been in the boot config (boot -c). I'd have thought the ahc1 driver would be the one - but there are no options on that one to try changing. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated as I've almost run out of ideas.
