Because it relies on user input. Someone may have tried it and just gave up instead of filing a PR. Read the list, there are a lot that say things like "Stops booting while accessing the SATA drives. Problems with on-board ethernet." or "Random freezes with onboard SATA controller, SATA-RAID not recognized. Onboard ethernet not recognized. AGP not recognized." That sounds like a "doesn't work" to me, however if the user just gives up, nothing is going to be reported. P.S. cross-posting two lists is bad form. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

FreeBSD 6.2/AMD64: supports TYAN Tomcat n3400B motherboard?
Dear Sirs. For building a server system I would like to use the TYAN Tomcat n3400B motherboard (TYAN S2925G2NR). As far as I know, this motherboard utilises the nVidia nForce 3400 chipset which is similar, or even identical to the new nForce5XX chipsets introduced shortly. The main question is: will FreeBSD 6.2/amd64 work with this board? I need especially both NICs and the SATA-II RAID-0/Mirroring facilities. Thank you very much for your comments.
