Hello All,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD (the latest 2.2 SNAPSHOT) onto my DEC
HiNote Ultra that has a DataPak 340MB PC Card Disk Drive.

When I booted from the installation floppy, I couldn't only see wd0
(the internal IDE disk).

Is there a special boot disk that is required to see PC Card hard
disks during the install...  Or is this even supported ??


Thanks in advance,
Greg.
