Dear UNIX-friends!
I would like to know if it is possible to get the latest 2.1.5-release of F=
reeBSD from
Walnut Creek CDROM - or should I go for a 2.2-SNAP-release instead? Do you =
think it =

could solve my problem? Or could a later release of a boot floppy do the tr=
ick?

I don=B4t seem to get anywhere trying to install the 2.1.0-release of FreeB=
SD, which I got =

on a CD from Walnut Creek this spring. The boot disk seems to recognize the=
 NCR 53C810 =

PCI SCSI-controller (PCI-SC200-card) on the ASUSTeK P55SP4-motherboard (lat=
est BIOS =

version) and also the two HP Surestore SCSI-harddisks (C3724, 1 GB and C372=
5, 2 GB)as =

well as the Iomega Jaz-drive (1 GB) and the Toshiba CD-player (XM-3701B).

BUT: In the installation program I can=B4t access anything but the Jaz-disk=
 (sd2 - only a =

partition table of this is presented, no disk choices before that), althoug=
h I have been =

able to boot and install WIN95, OS/2 Warp 3 and Win-NT 3.51 from primary pa=
rtitions on =

sd0 and sd1 without any problems. I use the OS/2 Boot Manager.

Thanks in advance for a helpful answer.
Greetings...UNIX is nice(1)...or how they put it...
