Also, the Adaptec is on port 334 instead of 330 so it won't conflict w/ my SB-AWE32/Roland daughtercard combination. My goal is to have DOS & Win95 on the two Western Digitals and FreeBSD on one of the SCSI's. (The other 2, ID's 1 and 2, already have Linux and SunOS 5.4 for X86 installed on them w/ no problems.). I was able to boot up FreeBSD using the FBSDBOOT.EXE on the FreeBSD 2.0.5 Walnut Creek CD and install the software (it did complain bitterly about the disk geometry on the SCSI drive, but I persisted and installed anyway) with no problems. However, now I can't boot up the system using either the OSBS boot manager software from the CD or the boot floppy - it just locks up after stating "Waiting for SCSI devices to settle.". What is the proper way to install FreeBSD and then boot the OS? Thanks for your help. -Ryan R. Donovan rdonovan@wln.com
