Hello Lee, > I have an old Compaq ProSignia that has a Symbios SCSI 53C810 SCSI > controller card built in.

Thanks This controller chip is just working fine. Itīs in the mschine Iīm using here to support my external scanner. Donīt worry about it not being listed. At the point of installation you refer to, you can select or deselect additional drivers. This is no auto-detection of hardware. If you donīt deselect certain hardware here, you will get some non-harming boot messages similar to "device not found" in the future. Of course you can correct this later after having installed your system. Are the disks youīre referring to SCSI ones attached to your Symbios controller? Then you know, itīs working. If there is nothing attached, check your boot messages, when you first reboot after your install with the command "dmesg | less". You should find a reference to your controller there. If you build your own kernel later on your way, pay attention to keep the relevant lines. Hope this helps. BTW, for future questions on this list add some more information about your system, especially which version of FreeBSD you want to install. There is a regular posting on this list "How to get most out of FreeBSD questions". Watch for it, it will help you to ask precisely and to feed the list with necessary information, which will increase your chances to get good answers.
