I just picked up the FreeBSD CD and am having little luck
installing it.  My system consists of:
-486DX33 w/16 Meg RAM
-two IDE hard drives (40Meg & 340Meg)
-and Adaptec AHA1540 (a real old one, but it works). With:
 -a quantum 105S at SCSI ID=0
 -a IBM CDROM drive (Toshiba 3201) at SCSI ID=1
-keyboard, vga, mouse, etc...

When I boot the CDROM install disk for the AHA154x I can see the
system lists the AHA1540 at DMA 5, IRQ 11, along with wd0 & wd1.
I do not see the CDROM drive or the Quantum HD.  Any hints
would be welcome...
