I just purchased FreeBSD 2.2.2 and, while trying to install it, found in the HARDWARE.TXT file on the CDROM the the 3C589D card I just bought is not supported. There is also a mention about some new driver support comming up and would like to know what you would suggest on methods I could use to install my new operating system. As you could expect it is a laptop and therefore has either a floppy or a CDROM installed at any one time and was planning to install FreeBSD over my network. I do have, however, a JAZ drive connected to an Adaptec 1460 (recognized as a 1520) SCSI adapter. Could this be a posible way to perform the install? Your suggestions would be much appreciated. Troi.
