To all the FreeBSD volunteers, I wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and HELP!! (-O In my efforts to keep cost low, I have come up short on documentation. I recently purchased a NEC 1Gig drive and Adaptec 2842 SCSI controller card, but vendors at the computer didn't provide documentation. I would like to install FreeBSD 2.0 on this new disk in my 486 DX2/66Mhz VLB PC which currently has an 170MB IDE drive. My searches in the archives indicate that this is possible, but explicit explanations and/or directions as to HOW to do it were not given. Who out there can coach me through such an installation? I would like to keep a small DOS partition on the IDE disk and the majority of FreeBSD on the SCSI. Are there any Adaptec drivers I need to run FreeBSD? Where can I get them on the Internet? And, to further make it difficult, I would like to do the install via ftp and a modem. What helpful hints can you give me? Is there a prefered ISP in the Atlanta, GA area anyone would recommend? Respond to : alharcrow@lasc.lockheed.com Thanks in advance, Aaron Harcrow
