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.
