Wwhich apparently was only > DOS compat. I still have problems parsing your English, oh well, let's see if i can make some sense out of it. You certainly mean a Segate _driver_, not a drive, right? The Seagate ST-01 driver is part of the regular kernel. It is probed at IO address 0xc8000 and IRQ 5 by default. If this doesn't match your hardware setup (sorry, i've once seen such a beast, but i cannot remember if it has any jumpers or not), boot with the -c option, and modify the kernel with UserConfig. Refer to the handbook under http://www.freebsd.org/, or to the on-line documentation after booting the installation floppy (you could read it even without your Seagate driver working). What's the INSTALL program? Do you mean `sysinstall'? (Actually, lowercase, since it's a Unix program.) It't being loaded if you boot the boot floppy. What is only DOS compat? This (partial) sentence remains innuclear to me. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
