All pointers to information appreciated. Nate Williams used to keep a boot floppy around that was configured with the pcvt console driver.

Look around in the FreeBSD/incoming directory on ftp.cdrom.com. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
