I'm having problems when the install actually starts writing the files to disk. I get a large amount of errors (detailed later). I checked everything out as far as system setup and it all seams good. While installing, I found the entries that are in the GENERIC kernel for my card's sisters, but not for my card (29160). I then pulled out the HARDWARE.TXT file and looked up the supported hardware. it has the 274x/284x/294x for the GENERIC (under ahc0, which FBSD auto selects for my card on boot), but later in the hardware list, I found in the Disc Controllers listing for just about every card under the Adaptec sun (including mine). I was wondering, could the wrong driver be the root of my problem, or is the driver just too new and untested? Also, could I just have bad hardware?
