Good afternoon and thank you all for existing! I'm a FreeBSD (and Unix) newbie, but excitedbie. I have the 2.0.5 Walnutcreek dist. and am trying to install on my new computer, but the kernel can't find my hard drive. Details: Cyrix 6x86 P150+ on an MTI board with Triton II chipset, 32M RAM Adaptec 2940W running Seagate 32550 2G hard drive Adaptec 1542 running Pioneer ... CD-ROM and Colorado 2G QIC tape drive. #9 771 video. 3Com Etherlink III PCI 10t/102 NIC I've seen in a couple of readmes that 2.0.5 supports both the Adaptec 2949 and the 3Com card, but my initial attempt failed - probing ahc1 and zp0 both returned 0x0. There appears to be no ahc0 in my kernel. The 1542 responded. So, I have two questions: Do I need 2.1 Are there any problems with using these two SCSI cards? Thank you very much for your time!
