It's probably not a specific FreeBSD question - but I'm trying to get FreeBSD going on this combination. I have an ASUS '486 motherboard with an AMD 486DX4/100 processor, Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI card and a bunch of disks. If I use an Adaptec ISA card (not sure what type, it's quite old though) then it works a treat, if I plug in the PCI card then I get varying degrees of success (or failure). Most of the time, during an install it will hang in the newfs stage. The same hardware combination & memory in an ASUS P120 board works fine. Anyone have any other problems with ASUS 486 mainboards? Are they just crap or what? I've tried 2 486 mainboards, both with similar retults, but pluging in an ISA SCSI card or using the P120 board is fine. Gordon
