This is in the TROUBLE.TXT somewhere. I have given up on it, and went out to purchase an Adaptec 2940U2W. After a couple of hours fiddling, finally got it working, I mean the SCSI card. Installing the latest FreeBSD is of course a breeze. Only problem I had is when I first install my new SCSI card, the system did not detect it. A few words with the IBM tech support engr told me that which slot I put it in is important. I have to install it at the first slot to get the Netfinity to recognise the SCSI card. After that everything went smoothly. My first impression of FreeBSD on the Netfinity, now a couple of hours old, is that everything runs so fast. I think the Ultra-2 architecture, the 256MB RAM, and the 400MHz PII helps a lot. :-) Thanks, Mike. Thanks, everyone.
