<p>This section contains workarounds for specific hardware
problems encountered by our users.
<sect2>
<heading>Micron systems hang at boot time</heading>
<p>Certain Micron motherboards have a non-conforming PCI BIOS
implementation that causes grief when FreeBSD boots because
PCI devices don't get configured at their reported addresses.
<p>Disable the "Plug and Play Operating System" flag in the BIOS
to work around this problem. More information can be found at

<heading>I have a newer Adaptec controller and FreeBSD can't find it.
</heading>
<p>The newer AIC789x series Adaptec chips are supported under the CAM SCSI
framework making it's debut in 3.0. Patches against 3.0-CURRENT and 2.2-STABLE
are in <url url="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/" name="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam/">.
A CAM-enhanced boot floppy is available at <url url="http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot/"

beginning. </p>

<heading>I have an internal Plug & Play modem and FreeBSD can't find it.
</heading>
<p>You will need to add the modem's PnP ID to the PnP ID list in the serial driver.
To enable Plug & Play support, compile a new kernel with <tt/controller pnp0/ in
the configuration file, then reboot the system. The kernel will print the PnP IDs
of all the devices it finds. Copy the PnP ID from the modem to the table in
<tt>/sys/i386/isa/sio.c</tt>, at about line 1200. Look for the string "SUP1310"
in the structure "siopnp_ids[]" to
find the table. Build the kernel again, install, reboot, and your modem should be found.</p>
<p>You may have to manually configure the PnP devices using the `pnp' command in the
boot-time configuration with a command like
<verb>
pnp 1 0 enable os irq0 3 drq0 0 port0 0x2f8
</verb>
to make the modem show.</p>

<p>If you have a IDE Zip or Jaz drive installed, remove it and try again.
The boot floppy has trouble probing these devices and can confuse it.
The boot floppy can get confused by the drives.
After the system is installed you can reconnect the drive. Hopefully
this will be fixed in a later release.
