 installation process. I am trying to install FreeBSD on a IBM PC Server 325.
 However, as near as I can determine the Adaptec AIC 7880 SCCI card and the
 AMD/PCI network interface is giving me fits.
 
 After looking at the FAQ, and other documentation, it appears that the source
 of my problems are being caused by lack of support fo these devices in the
 generic install kernel.

No; both of these devices are supported in any recent version of
FreeBSD.  The AMD network adapter is known to be troublesome, but there
are many people running FreeBSD just fine on the 325.

Which version of FreeBSD are you trying to install?  What problems are 
you experiencing?

Need Installation Help...

[Andrew Whitcroft]

Hi All --

I am trying to become part of the FreeBSD world but am having problems with the
installation process. I am trying to install FreeBSD on a IBM PC Server 325.
However, as near as I can determine the Adaptec AIC 7880 SCCI card and the
AMD/PCI network interface is giving me fits.

After looking at the FAQ, and other documentation, it appears that the source
of my problems are being caused by lack of support fo these devices in the
generic install kernel. This is further complicated by the fact that I do not
have a machine which is currently running FreeBSD, so I cannot build a custom
installation disk.

I really want to install FreeBSD on this box, but these issues are preventing
me from doing so. Does anybody have any comments/thoughts which might help me
get out of this corner I have painted myself into?

Thanks in Advance,
Andy.
