Well, I don't think the tuner on the ati card will work, but anything based on the brooktree 848/878 will pretty much work.. I have a Hauppage WinTV card. About the install, before you move the HD over, you will want to change your fstab so that everything that was either wd1 or ad1 will now be wd0 or ad0. I'm pretty sure it'll boot after this. If not you can force the root device using the loader.. although I'm not sure off the top of my head how to do this. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, Person, Roderick wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm about to build my third FBSD box.
