Hi

I can't seem to install FreeBSD from my Pioneer (512B/block selected
[normally used on a Sun3]) SCSI CDrom drive, with an  Adaptec AHA1520B
controller. Done all the preinstall hardware setup (ie; IRQ's, I/O
addresses, iomem, iosize, etc) and it does all work on the same DEC 425i
PC (486SX) under DOS/Win3.x & 9x.

Should I be able to install FreeBSD using the above method, or is it not
possible.

The other odd thing is that when I attempt an installation via my
network, the only choices appear to be via serial and or parallel ports,
but not over the ethernet (eg; from a Sun3/3x running SunOS 4.1, or a
Linux/Solaris 7 PC). Is this normal or is my copy of FreeBSD not quite
complete.

Thanks

Rhys
