I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.2 on a IBM PC Server 325. However, as near as I can determine the Adaptec AIC 7880 SCCI card and the AMD/PCI network interface is giving me fits. After looking at the FAQ, and other documentation, it appears that the source of my problems are being caused by lack of support fo these devices in the generic install kernel. This is further complicated by the fact that I do not have a machine which is currently running FreeBSD, so I cannot build a custom installation disk. I really want to install FreeBSD on this box, but these issues are preventing me from doing so. Does anybody have any comments/thoughts which might help me get out of this corner I have painted myself into? Thanks in Advance, Andy. -------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Whitcroft n9kws at execpc.com -------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
