Hello, 
i'm having problems installing FreeBSD 3.1 RELEASE or any 3.x
RELEASE for that matter on various digital 1200 servers. 
http://www.windows.digital.com/products/server/1200%5Fdescription.asp
these systems installed FreeBSD 2.2.8 fine, only that the would give boot
messages that did not affect performance that read as this:

Feb 13 20:14:13 web2 /kernel: ahc0 <Adaptec aic7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> rev 1 int a irq 10 on pci0:19:0
Feb 13 20:14:13 web2 /kernel: Illegal cable configuration!!. Only two connectors on the adapter may be used at a time!ahc0: aic7880 Wide Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs 
Feb 13 20:14:13 web2 /kernel: ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle
Feb 13 20:14:13 web2 /kernel: (ahc0:0:0): "SEAGATE ST39173W 5958" type 0 fixed SCSI 2

but it worked ok.

now when i try to install 3.1-RELEASE 
it freezess when i just insert the mfsroot floppy and says system halted.
any suggestion on how to fix
this,or  what could it be. i've called digital and they are sending a tech
over to see what's wrong with these machine if anything is.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance,
