Hi,

one more question: I do have a really fast and nice machine standing
around here, which I'd like to use for NetBSD, too. Unfortunately the
motherboard is equipped with an on-board Adaptec SCSI controller,
which Windows identifies as being the "aic78u2". Searching through the
web sites I see no mention of this chip at all, but the 1.2 release
pages claim that aic78XX would in principle be support except for the
occasions when it does not work. :-)

So I wonder whether I have any chance of getting NetBSD 1.4 installed
on the machine with that controller? Is there any chance of tweaking
the kernel options or some other magic?

	-peter
