So... I have this nice SATA drive and controller which I believe is supported by FreeBSD but not in the default build for releases. What is the best way to cross-build a version of FreeBSD's release ISOs that will include drivers not included in the default distribution? Or is it possible to supply a driver during sysinstall time to have FreeBSD recognize my hard disk? Currently I can only get Mandrake linux 9.1 to install on this disk as it has the 2.4.21[pre release I assume] linux kernel that does recognize this controller [even Windows XP Pro does not recognize this newer hardware and I didn't get a floppy drive yet for the new machine]. Can I cross compile FreeBSD 5.1 [RC or otherwise] from Mandrake Linux to include the necessary support then burn a CD of the generated ISO images? It would be super-cool if I could :) and a decent learning experience.... Might be worth documenting it if I can figure it out. DaveReceived on Fri Jun 06 2003 - 04:04:07 UTC
