First of all, thanks to those who responded to my previous questions regarding installing FreeBSD (make my own install CD?) I decided to follow the advice of the person who suggested that I could get the CD by buying the FreeBSD book. It would be handy if that little tidbit was somewhere prominent on the website. I know someone else who is interested in FreeBSD, but "can't get the CD." On to the next problem: hard drives. On the website, under the section on hardware compatibility, there's a list of supported hard disk controllers. The systems that I am looking at buying all have Ultra DMA hard drives, which seems fairly common, but I don't see any mention of UMDA on the website. I have been told, by a salesperson I don't trust, (who had a reason I don't believe,) that UDMA won't be a problem. So, what's the scoop on UDMA and FreeBSD?
