I can't get FreeBSD to install, because FreeBSD's ncr driver : doesn't like my hard drive (Quantum Grand Prix 4.3 Gb disk). So, until : there is a fix for this, I suggest you do not use a Quantum Grand Prix : with your combination of hardware. My P90/32MB/ASUS Triton Chipset doesnt reboot and sometimes X-Startup hangs. I've tried NCR SC200, AHA1542, ET4000, MiroCrystal40SV. I think it's the Award BIOS. Should I update FlashBIOS (March95) or 2.0-04XXXX-SNAP (April95) ? Lars.
