Interesting, I've been able to do it off a 2940UW with a Plextor Ultraplex as the boot drive, booting right off the cd to setup. This just got me to thinking... Do you have any external devices? If so, disconnect those and try loading. Also what type of termination are you using on your chains? Also I would try fooling around a little in the bios of your adaptec card, or perhaps flashing it to the latest ROM version. > > Even if I manage to get freebsd on this machine, and my hopes are > dimming,I'm still not sure I'll be able to run X.

Since they both have the same nVidia chipset at heart, you should be able to. Hope that helps or tricking it with the floppy drive does...
