I've been reading the handbook pretty carefully and I've discovered some quirks/potential improvements: 7.4. The Configuration File: Q: "All PCs supported by FreeBSD have one of these. If you have an IBM PS/2 (Micro Channel Architecture), you cannot run FreeBSD at this time (support is being worked on)." A: I understand that isa is probably a standard used throughout my whole system but I got a bit confused since my system only contains PCI and AGP cards. Perhaps a note should say that you need to include isa support even if you system doesn't have any ISA cards.
