It can be done. A friend of mine has just tried FreeBSD-2.1-RELEASE. I believe the hardware is something like a DX266, 16Mb or more memory, a AHA1542B and a scsi JAZ. Is your JAZ scsi ? For that matter, are all JAZs scsi - I don't know. If it is, send a follow up and I'll ask him for specifics - or get him to post. If it isn't (are there paralell JAZ drives?), I wouldn't really be surprised that it doesn't work - the golden rule is that you can't boot from a device that your BIOS can't read at boot time. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
