AJ, I just tried the FreeBSD 5.0 DP2, and the system loaded but did not recognize the 53C875. At least it didn't stall during boot. Still, why is this stuff in the hardware compatibility listings? There must be a tweak or setting. The hardware listing mentions specifically "Tincup" (AS 1200), and the Symbios 53C875.
