No problem, I can see how it can happen.

There aren't any boot floppies available now, unless you want to install
2.2.8.  (which uses the old SCSI layer)  Once we check in the Tekram/AMD
driver, it should only be a day or two before it pops up in one of the
3.1-stable or 4.0-current snapshots.

Until Justin's review is complete, the drivers are only available in patch
form, so you'd need a running FreeBSD box to compile them on.
