FreeBSD 6.1 RELEASE x86 install
Submitted by Ross on Mon, 2007/01/08 - 9:00pm.This is the extremely detailed transcript of my adventures installing the system on epicycle. An important moral of the story for subsequent buildkernels, is to compare the files in /root/3ware_driver/ with those in /sys/dev/twa, etc. Once FreeBSD has more recent versions of these files than are present in /root/3ware_driver, things will be easier. For the time being, always copy these files in before doing a buildkernel!
