After installation /who proceeds fine) the machine just freeze in the boot moment.. As the 2300+ got its own BIOS which can be set at various addresses ive tried them all without success, however if i disable the onboard BIOS on it, it works fine and the machine bootsup normaly, but as it is the BIOS who give me support to large disks (breaking the 540MB limit) i can only use 540MB on my 3 1GB disks..No god..!! Are there any BSD hacker who has a similar controller and solved this problem , pleze share it with me.. /Ola
