I thought the 2940 was supported? Any ideas on what I can do. After downloading a new boot disk and driver update, I can successfully load Solaris 2.5.1 x86 but, I would prefer FreeBSD. Apparently even Solaris would not recognize the 2940AU. Should I find a plain vanilla 2940? BTW, I really like FreeBSD. You all have done a great job. Hardware configuration: 1 Soyo 82430VX/P54C PCI motherboard. 1 133Mhz Intel CPU. 2 16MB EDO Simms (32MB total). 1 Adaptec 2940AU Scsi Host Adapter. 1 H.P. 2.1GB Scsi internal disk drive. 1 CR-506 8x Scsi internal CDROM drive. 1 Exabyte 8mm Scsi internal tape drive. 1 Novell 2000+ Clone ethernet board. 1 Serial mouse. 1 101 key Keyboard. 1 Sony Multiscan 15sf monitor. 1 ET4000 chipset, 2MB PCI video card. thanks in advance for your help.
