ISO's downloaded last week as well. =20 I know the raid card works, I had netware installed on the machine prior = to moving it to new hardware. If there was an option to install unlisted drivers at the initial setup screen, where I am suppose to remove drivers that do not apply, then I = might be able to continue on and get this installed. I selected FreeBSD = because it seemed to be abit more up to date with releases of other software we would be running (Sendmail 8.12.10, etc) Any suggestions where to begin troubleshooting the install? I did = download the latest drivers for the card as well, but all the install = instructions I've found assume there is already a working FreeBSD system, which I do = not have. (FWIW, Redhat 9 also is failing to install, it locks up loading its = DAC960 driver -never even gets to any sort of config) Thank you, Mike
