I hope I'm mailing to the right address.
I have a Gateway 2000 Pentium II with 64Megs of RAM. 
When installing FreeBSD from CD the installation stops and tells me it can't detect my Hard Drive.
I think the problem is that it can't detect my Disk Controller - A Promise Ultra DMA Hard Disk 
Controller. I have drivers for this device for Win95,Win NT,3.X,OS/2, but nothing for any form of
Unix.
Promise,via email, told me that they had no drivers and wouldn't release any specs of the device
- so no joy there. 
Are there any drivers available that I could download and get FreeBSD to install?
Thanks
Pat Dwyer.
