Now, I can boot up the FreeBSD livecd perfectly fine, but when it comes to adding the interface the driver isn't present (although it is available if one compiles the kernel with the proper driver), and if I do install the system it fails to properly detect the root devices at boot (something to do with the RAID setup or numbering drives I believe). So, in an effort to get my system up and running I was wondering if someone could provide me with either a link to a v7 ISO available somewhere, or directions on how to make a FreeBSD LiveCD (I have 2 other IA32 systems kicking around I can use for building stuff :)..). As a wonderful sidenote, for kicks I tried to install Vista and I must say that it sucks.. blue screens / locks up every time I have a session open. This year is a year for Unix to come back because I sense a lot of bad problems for Windows / MS on the horizon.. Cheers and thanks! -Garrett
