[OT] Hardware - SCSI

[Mike Szumlinski]

I solved the problem in possibly the most arduous way possible...

First, I loaded up fdisk while in Win98 from a different drive, as windows
could see the drive and but not mount it yet. When I booted from a floppy,
the drive was MIA, so I figured I'd try while actually in Windows.  I
managed to create a couple of partitions and format it as fat16.

Second, I had to install a clean copy of Windows98 on my Win2k partition and
then proceed to upgrade to Win2k, because Win2k STILL wouldn't recognize the
drive after I got it to recognize under 98.

Third, I installed FreeBSD...that was the easy part.
