Problem is, I want it to work in FreeBSD too... and of course it doesn't. So far the only way I can get it to work is to do a warm-boot from a DOS prompt after it's run the PnP manager and stuff like that... then it works fine (it's a sound-card... SB32 PnP FYI)... from a cold-boot it fails miserably. This is awkward because I really want to get shot of my DOS partition completely if I can, at the moment I use this to boot first, warm-boot then load BSD. I've seen mention of people trying this before, and a friend of mine pointed me to FTP://freefall.freebsd.org/incoming/*PnP*... but surprise surprise I can't find any reference to *PnP* in the incoming directory. Help... it's driving me to the point where I might actually start considering installing Linux instead of FreeBSD :-) Oh, and please email me a response as well as posting it here if possible, my news-reader is flaky at best and doesn't seem to always pick up on the groups I really wanna see :)) Cheers...
