Very Computer

HI FreeBSD Gurus!!!

I have a win95 computer, and wanted to give FreeBSD a try (to actually use
it for some time...), the problem is that I don't have enough space on my
IDE hard disk, so thought about making a FreeBSD Jaz Disk....

After disabling my IDE drive (CMOS Setup) and enabling Jaz's bootable
option, i usually get the os on the jaz disk (tried it on w95 , and
DOS/wfw).......

When trying to install FreeBSD, it DETECTS MY IDE DRIVE (isn't it
disabled???) and IGNORES MY JAZ!

what can I do???

(all i want is to install FreeBSD on a JAZ... and use it when I need
it...)

thank you,
            Osama

Are you setting the SCSI interrupt and port to one that doesen't conflict with
the IDE controller interrupt and ports?

Having never used an IOMEGA scsi controller card, I don't know what kind of
chipset it has in it so I can't tell you if it's supported under FreeBSD.
