We'll I can say the Adptec does work with FreeBSD 2.2.5. After 3 or 4 days messing with the installation I finally stumbled upon the problem when loading FreeBSD for the uptenth time. I could install off the cdrom . However, once it went to boot on it's own I would get a fatal error message after it cofigured sc0. Too bad I don't know enogh about this stuff yet. Trial and error I guess. But anyways I stumbled upon the 3com card problem after many many tries. I had to disable the memory on the card. My next step is to try the memory address that is recommended for Intel16 cards, D000008 or something. Hope that works as far as the 3com card goes. ******* But I did want to say that the ADAPTEC 2940 appears ******* to be working with FreeBSD 2.2.5 . As for swithcing ******* to another OS that someone mentioned. From all I've heard ******* I'm sticking with FreeBSD. Thanks FreeBSD for the great OS you People are Providing Happy Holidays to all !!! Thank You Stephen A.
