GENERIC doesn't have the ciss driver in it. You'll have to make a custom installation floppy for now. Once you've made the custom installation kernel on another FreeBSD box, just mount the first installation disk, gzip the new kernel, and copy the new kernel over the one on the disk. Also be sure to remove devices out of GENERIC you don't need or it will be too large to fit on the floppy. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
