The intent was, "Another victory for FreeBSD where the 'standard' software fails." Have dropped -stable from the distribution. It appears there are at least two ways to install NT on this system. Having read cover to cover the MB manual, the Adaptec manual, and all the README's I could find, and a couple of hours at Microsoft.com, all to no luck. A mention on some FreeBSD lists and a search at www.deja.com result in several suggestions to do the same thing, start the NT install from floppy, or use the F6 key to break into the CDROM boot to feed it the special driver floppy. However the FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE CDROM was no where near this much hassle. And easily proved my new hardware is healthy. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
