Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi. I'm a reasonably experienced Unix user, but have a question. I'm looking to replace Linux with *BSD, and just found out that FreeBSD (the only one currently) supports my SCSI controller (DPT PM2144UW). Unfortunatley, the support is not included in any boot disks, or on your page (shame on you! I've been doing automated WWW/Usenet searches for almost a year looking for DPT support and FreeBSD has had it since 2.2! But your site makes _no_ mention of it anywhere!) So how can I manage to patch a kernel w/o a Unix system (don't know anyone else with one either) and make a boot disk to install FreeBSD on my system?
