Sorry if this is a *BSD FAQ, but I recently got the FreeBSD 1.02 CD-ROM
from Walnut Creek, and noticed that it didn't list the Adaptec AIC-6360
chip (the SCSI chip that's on the SoundBlaster-16scsi-2 board) as
supported. So... I may not be able to even install FreeBSD since my
external CD-ROM drive (Toshiba XM3301B) is connected to my sb16scsi-2
board.

Does anybody know a workaround for this?
