   I successfully installed FreeBSD and NetBSD on ESDI WD1007 controller and
   Micropolis-1558 drive.

   Unfortunately both systems in their original kernels have SCSI disabled
   and I had to convert my QIC tapes to floppies to complete installations.
   This is going backwards from the 0.1 fixit floppies where all including
   SCSI and Ethenet worked fine. I guess to many people pull this project
   their own way these days.


Excuse me??  What do you mean by "SCSI disabled"?  FreeBSD supports
two different boot sets, one for Adaptec SCSI controllers and one for
Ultrastore/Bustek.  That's hardly "SCSI disabled" to me!  And our
ethernet drivers are bundled in as well.
