That means if your card is a Sound Blaster 16 PNP, you need to choose the defaults which are usually listed in the manual. That way, you can boot directly into FreeBSD, and everything sounds great. I don't really like the idea of starting Win95 and then starting FreeBSD to listen to music. The defaults for mine were irq 9 for mpu0, so I used that. If your card is PNP, you may be able to set it in the CMOS. If you have one of the newer Award Bioses, you can determine which irqs and dmas are for Legacy ISA or PCI/ISA PNP. ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || PO BOX 16627 Cyrix 686s now available! || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping
