Hello,
>
Well I recieved the CD-Installation of FreeBSD 2.1.5. I took the time to read
about the Installation Concepts-and page 27 states that "FreeBSD does not
support the EDIE Promise Controller, even with all the EIDE features turned
off".
>
Is this true for the Promise EIDE 2300+ ctlr for the VLB?  (This controller has
a Primary EIDE interface and a Secondary IDE interface.)
>
If this is true, what other UNIX/OS would be a good entry into the UNIX
architecture?

Thanks
