Hi! Excuse me, my english not a best, but I hope you'll be able to undestend me. I have Compaq Prosignia VS (EISA bus) with integrated scsi NCR 53C710 and netcard "NetFlex-L ENET" (chip AMD PCnet-32 AM79C965KC). I trayed to setup version 2.2.5 of FreeBSD onto this computer in hope that this devices (even though first) recognises as "generic" - of couse, I doesn't find their in "supported devices" list because their absent there... Unfortunately, my "dreams" didn't come true and setup program didn't find any HD's on my system (it's not right, it have two scsi-HDD's!)... Maybe I can do something to improve this situation (with 2.2.5)? Can i expect that such support will appear in later versions? (though i don't know, possibly I'll not be able to buy it or download from the inet soon - this stupid crisis spoil all :( ) I already works with freebsd and find it nice and great, but up to now I has not time and place to study it well. So that I have not experience and knowlege to write necessary drivers independently :(( Maybe you can somehow halp me <:-) I'm a Moscow student (MSPU, Math. faculty), I like to study computers, programs and programming, I don't like any M$ products 'cose they are enormous and foolish and because M$ is a monster, which "kill" or "eat" many good things and force piple to use only stuff by it... Oh, where is prased american law?.. (excuse me, you don't guilty :) And I want to study unix as almost the only os for real powerful work but not for "learning fools", as system without needless lumbers but system in which and with which man can do all that he want if he knows what he want and have necessary rights.
