It doesn't show up in PCI configuration space at all, which leads me to believe that it's being explicitly turned off. > > The onboard Adaptec on the dp264 is not bootable, but does work with > > FreeBSD (4.0 and later). > > Do you have any further info on DP264? Sorry, I confused the DP264 and the UP2000. Alpha Processor Inc. (www.alpha-processor.inc) produce the dp264 (looks like a DS20 board) and the UP2000. Unless our DS20 is really a dp264, I can't comment further on it. API have, however, leant us a UP2000, which has an onboard aic7897. This chip is enabled by default, but SRM doesn't support it so you can't boot from it. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
