I have a 486 which has an old Phoenix BIOS on it. I've tried putting fbsd
4.0-R onto it by both network and CD from iso image. It always hangs up
creating the blocks or copying that first file over after creating the
blocks. I noticed the BIOS was seeing the drive as only 347M when it was a
4.3G IDE drive.

The question I have is would I have the same problems if I put an Adaptec
2940UW card with a 2.1 SCSI2 drive in there instead of IDE?
