I'm doing same thing with same hardware right now as well. I have a similar problem. FreeBSD detects the disks no problem except I can not seem to boot, everytime I install I get a message saying no operating system detected. I have been told that there can be problems with the BIOS translation with the disk and that a DOS partition is needed to communicate properly so the correct geometry is detected by the mini-kernel for the installation. I tried doing this but still no luck. Any ideas, Daniel Morel Network Administrator Reteurs Canada On Thu, 19 Nov 1998, Steven Yang wrote: > Hi, I'm trying to install 2.2.7 on a machine that has an AHA2940 U/UW > Dual SCSI BIOS. > Does FreeBSD 2.2.7 support dual SCSI?
