I would like to try freebsd, so I downloaded the two start up floppies form the 3.2 image on the freebsd.org web site. The floppies work fine but the install config does not see my disk controller. It is an adaptec 2940 controller. There only seems to be a model 15xx type controller in the device list and it does not pick up the interrupt or buffer port. Another problem is the network card. I have an smd 10 baset card which is being found but is not being initialized when the system is coming up into the install menus. System is a PentiumII 350, 128mb of memory, 1 gb hard drive. PS I am not trying to load it on my Linux disk. I am using a spare disk with a dos partition. I have followed the directions in the install doc. and would like to know if I am doing something wrong or if I need a different set of starter disks.
