Re: Installation wants a "Driver disk"

Braden;

You can go to Adaptec's web site and see if there are drivers ported to
LINUX for your board.  I was trying the same thing on a '486/33, and the
FutureDomain TMC-950 chipset which I have is not supported.  I just got an
IDE CD-ROM, and I hope this will do the trick.

Good Luck!
