I don't remember) from a dos floppy. You also have to download the eisa description of the adaptec onto that disk. ecu can then change the adaptec settings. Thanks to Tor Egge for spotting the level/edge problem! :-) Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
