The hardware is as follows: Digital Celebris XL6180 (PPro 200, 32MB of RAM) Symbios Logic 8100S PCI SCSI controller Seagate ST32550N 2 gig SCSI hd Toshiba XM-5401TA SCSI cd-rom Matrox Millennium PCI video card 2 SMC Intel 21041-AA based PCI NICs 2 serial ports and one parallel I had a look at the hardware compatibility page and as far as I could work= out everything above is supported. I didn't find the Symbios controller as= one of the selections on the hardware configuration screen so I tried a few= settings but didn't get a hard disk boot with anything I tried. I searched= the list archives but unfortunately didn't find anything to help with this. The machine was running dual boot win98 and win2k until the attempts to= install FreeBSD. I have FreeBSD the whole hard disk and used the automatic= partition setup. I also tried installing with and without a boot manager. I'll be most grateful for any pointers for the settings I need to use and= anything else which may help me find how to get it to boot from the scsi= hard disk. Thanks in advance.
