Hello everyone, I'm sending this question along for a friend who isn't net connected yet : Machine : Comapq Prosignia (EISA machine) 32MB of RAM 60Mhz Pentium On Board SCSI controller Compaq Ethernet card I've asked for details about the machine in an attempt to determine what kind of chipset is used for the SCSI and ethernet. My friend tells me the motherboard has a chip marked as an NCR 53c710(?). He couldn't find anything that would give an indication as to what the ethernet card is. Problem: Using the latest SNAP (2.1-960606-SNAP), the install boot up fails to find the SCSI hard drive and the ethernet controller. My initial guess is that we need to boot with '-c' and set the irq and port for the appropriate devices. But the ncr support doesn't list this as a supported chipset, and we don't have any idea as to what the ethernet card is. Has anyone else installed FreeBSD on a similar setup? Thanks, Craig
