Hi:

My new computer came this morning, but they sent me an Adaptec 2742
instead of the 1742 that I ordered!

Will the 2742 allow me to install either Net-BSD or FreeBSD?  Any help
will be appreciated.

Failing that, does anybody know if the 2742 is a better board than the
1742?  I can always pick up a 1542 to get things loaded, and then help
the scsi driver people in writing a driver that works for the 2742.
