Let's dispurse with the feeble "recalled", and replace it with *READ* from freebsd.cdrom.com/FreeBSD/FAQFreeBSD.FAQ... *AND I DOTH QUOTE* "2.2: What SCSI controllers are supported? "FreeBSD supports the following SCSI controllers: "Adaptec AH-154x Series <ISA> " AH-174x Series <EISA> " AH-152x Series <ISA> " AH-2742/2842 Series <ISA/EISA> ""Buslogic BT-445 Series <VLB> (but see section 1.5) " BT-545 Series <ISA> " BT-742 Series <EISA> " BT-747 Series <EISA> " BT-964 Series <PCI> "Future Domain TMC-8xx/950 Series <ISA> ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anyhow, I did get a cheap floppy controller, AND a TMC-850.. The BIOS understood that there was a hard disk & controller, but FreeBSD 2.0 release boot did not. So maybe that should be yanked from the FAQ.
