I have major trouble trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.0-R on a box with 
an Intel Atlantis motherboard. 
To be able to boot I have to disable *all* devices exept npx, sc and 
aha0. I tried with a NCR controller too, but it isn't even found by 
the BIOS. Sigh. 
I've tried all possible settings in the setup, and finally found one
that recognizes the AHA-1542 so I can access the HD.
But I still have to boot "-c" and disable all devices. 

Anyone familiar with these troubles?

I'm loosing my temper on thisone, and the one at work, an AST P60
that although everything looks fine, can't reach out on the net...

My box of clues is empty now, so if anybody has a spare one... :-)

	/Paul.
