Ah, Unixware had no trouble so I 
assumed life was good.

My VLbus controller has Normal, Fast 
and Turbo mode, obviously, Turbo gives 
the best performance.

Works fine for loading Unixware, 
FreeBSD, NOT.

The difference, Turbo and Fast us 
32-bit VL-bus IO and new readmultiple 
and write multiple commands supported 
by certain new IDE drives.  Yeah, 
which drives?

Anyhow when running FreeBSD I boot 
Normal mode and away it goes.
