Hi,
	I have seen various problems people have using the 2940.  Well, I 
haven't seen this in the FAQ so here it is :

	I can install FreeBSD with no problem.  However, when I try to 
add the pre-built packages, tons of errors occur.  For example, I have 
the "medium error .. into:1a541:asc11, 5L-EC unrecoverable and the 
system crashes.  I can boot freebsd fine, but I can't add any packages.  

	Have people experienced the same problem?  Is this a driver 
problem since I have tried a second SCSI disk and the same problem 
occurs.  On the other hand, NEXTSTEP and NT are running fine.

	Pointers appreciated.
