From the handbook: See: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook57.html (Actually this link can move each day, so you may need to just search for the handbook section manually) 5.3.4. Basic Controllers and Devices These sections describe the basic disk, tape, and CD-ROM controllers supported by FreeBSD. There are separate sections for SCSI controllers and network cards. controller isa0 All PC's supported by FreeBSD have one of these. If you have an IBM PS/2 (Micro Channel Architecture), then you cannot run FreeBSD at this time. Steve Friedrich Viva la FreeBSD!!
