I have a 1 gig IDE dedicated to OS/2. I recently added an Adaptec 1542 controller and a 1.3 gig Quantum drive and wanted to dedicate this to UNIX. The installer correctly identified the two disks. When I selected the scsi drive, freebsd FDISK cam up just fine, but it seemed unable to read the partition table, as no drive information was displayed. Also, it seemed unaware that the disk parameters were not displayed. When I executed a command, the system crashed. I tried a lot of different things eveb though this was time consuming do to having to select drivers every time because of my ATI video board. Finally, I used OS/2 and LINUX FDISKs to configure the disk and tryed again, but to no avail. I installed LINUX so that I would have something to use, and the installation went well and without incident. I would like to use BSD on my system (NextGen P-90 w/32 megs), but could well wait till the next release if I was fairly certain of being able to install. Thank you for your attention.
