There are a few catches (aren't there always): 1) You'll need the CAM SCSI layer (ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam) 2) and for that to work, I needed the source tree from 25th Dec 97 (ftp://src.doc.ic.ac.uk/pub/unix/FreeBSD/3.0-971225-SNAP). BTW, if you want to boot with the SCSI support, you'll need the boot images (ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/incoming/cam-boot.tgz). Hope this is of use! Apart from that, things now seem to be going swimmingly! :) Stewart ------- - Systems-Representative & Joint Systems Administrator BITS - Bristol Information Technology Society University of Bristol Student's Union, Bristol, England E-Mail: stewart@BITS.bris.ac.uk WWW : http://www.BITS.bris.ac.uk/stewart/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
