Too bad, as the soundcard itself seems to be
recognized properly by 5-Stable:
# kldload snd_sb16
# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 9 0xc0400000 275764 kernel
2 2 0xc0676000 18a44 miibus.ko
3 1 0xc068f000 6b98 if_rl.ko
4 1 0xc0696000 b1b8 random.ko
5 1 0xc1118000 4000 snd_sb16.ko
6 2 0xc111c000 18000 sound.ko
7 1 0xc113b000 4000 snd_sbc.ko
# cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <SB16 DSP 4.13> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5
bufsz 4096d kld snd_sb16 (1p/1r/0v channels
duplex default)
Anyway, if I buy a PCI IDE controller, would that
work easily with FreeBSD (4- or 5-Stable alike) ?
Thanks,
Rob.
