Greetings and Happy New Year.
Issue:
Need Adaptec 152x/AIC-6360 SCSI controller drivers for FreeBSD 3.3 install
from CD-ROM.
Description:
I am installing FreeBSD 3.3 on an older Compaq machine. The machine has
'two' SCSI controllers. The first an Adaptec AHA-1522A, to which are
connected a Seagate ST31200N hard drive and a Mountain Series 2100 tape
drive. The second a Soundblaster 16 (with an AIC-6360L chip) with a Toshiba
XM-3301TA CD ROM drive attached. The machine is currently running FreeBSD
2.2.2 (on a second physical IDE drive), sharing the configuration with WIN98
(on a primary IDE physical drive, the boot drive) by means of System
Commander.
I would like to reformat all drives (two IDE and the SCSI described above)
and install FreeBSD 3.3 from CD-ROM. However, sysinstall does not 'see' my
CD-ROM (described above), and I am thus unable to perform the installation.
I am leeryof 'upgrading' the 2.2 installation, for fear of losing access to
the CD-ROM drive and issues posed by booting from the second physical drive.
I would be most grateful for pointers to the driver and feedback on this
issue.
