Does anybody have this working without CAM? (No onboard SCSI obviously) I have installed 2.2.6 to both a seagate drive hanging off an adaptec 3940 and to an IDE disk on the onboard controller, in both cases I either get a read error if I have dedicated the disk to FreeBSD or 'missing operating system' if I have installed with dos style partitions. It's as if the BIOS refuses to boot a 165 partition from hard disk, this seems unlikly as it boots the floppy fine. -- GeoffB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
