I am working on getting a machine (486SX, 8megs o' RAM, 80MB 
Maxtor IDE drive) to run FreeBSD. The problem that has me 
stumped is once I can get the thing to boot from the 
boot.flp, the hard drive isn't recognized at all. How can I 
get the correct IRQ address for the drive?
Any help would be appreciated. E-mail replies would be even 
better.
