As I remember, even if the bios on the card is disabled, when you boot-up, you see a Adaptec msg, maybe not, not sure. Anyway, I would get the card/disc working in plain old dos first.

This advice is worth what it cost you ;). btw, consider putting your root directory on your ide drive. good luck -- Tom Jackson I'm ProChoice->FreeBSD toj@gorilla.net http://www.freebsd.org tjackson@tulsix.utulsa.edu "Out in the Ozone Again"
