It says that there are problems > with NCR/Symbios based cards *ON HOSE 1*. Not that they don't work at all.

I have no idea what a hose is, so I figured that must be the PCI slot it comes in. Alec To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
