Question of the day... Has anyone ever installed FreeBSD with an Adaptec 2940U2W controller? I am planning to do an install now that I have a relatively static hardware configuration. I wanted to install 3.0-SNAP. I tried booting with the boot floppy, but after the config section, I get a neat little blinking cursor on the top corner of the screen. No panic, just an old DOS style lockup... It might be something else on my system: 2xP II 300mhz processors Tyan Tiger II mb 196mb RAM Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI controller Quantum 6.4 Fireball (SCSI) Jaz (I will be installing on a Jaz Disk) Archive 4mm DAT Pioneer SCSI CD-ROM Diamond Stealth 2201XL video. Dunno if any of this makes a difference. I read in the archives that the adaptor is supported with CAM. Is there such a thing as a CAM boot floppy?
