Smith) writes: I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1 on a system that has a BusLogic FlashPoint LT SCSI Host Adapter. But, the installation utility refuses to recognize it. It is looking for BusLogic Adapters to be located at Port 0x330 and this adapter is at 0xF800 and I can't find a way to move it. Nor can I get the config> utility to take the F800 address. Any suggestions, please? Thanks. While I am not a FreeBSD user, I am reasonably familiar with the FlashPoint. The FlashPoint has a different architecture from the MultiMaster cards and has no onboard CPU, only a SCSI sequencer engine. It is positioned as a desktop workstation product, and is not particularly well suited for a high performance multitasking operating system like Linux or FreeBSD. The current FreeBSD BusLogic driver will not support this host adapter. Leonard
