Hi.

I'm a reasonably experienced Unix user, but have a question.
I'm looking to replace Linux with *BSD, and just found out that
FreeBSD (the only one currently) supports my SCSI controller (DPT
PM2144UW). Unfortunatley, the support is not included in any boot
disks, or on your page (shame on you! I've been doing automated
WWW/Usenet searches for almost a year looking for DPT support and
FreeBSD has had it since 2.2! But your site makes _no_ mention of it
anywhere!)

So how can I manage to patch a kernel w/o a Unix system (don't know
anyone else with one either) and make a boot disk to install FreeBSD
on my system?

Regards,
Thor
