[-- Attachment #1 --] I have a Compaq ProSignia server with a 486 processor and two 535MB SCSI hard-drives. The machine has 32 MB of RAM. I haven't seen any documentation on whether or not this is supported by freeBSD. The reason for this question is due to several failed attempts at installing the software. The macine boots to the actual install screen. I choose 'novice' install and it tells me that there are NO DISKS FOUND! Was I to set this up in the Kernel config? Yes, but did not see anything pertaining to the SCSI controller found in my system. It is Compaq of course. Do you have any suggestions? BTW, this machine has to CD-ROM drive so I am trying to download all the software. I have the /bin directory copied into the /FREEBSD directory on a blank DOS partition.
