I did not mean to offend and do not want to freeload hence my request to be
pointed in the right direction.  I did search the archives, but did not know
about the wiki.  Perhaps I searched for the wrong terms / criteria.  Most of
what I found had to do with embedded installations, not generic PC.  But,
maybe my question to the list was not focused enough -- I seem to be having
trouble specifically with the Intel boards.  Perhaps I should ask, "Has
anyone had success with CF to IDE adapters on Intel boards D865 and higher?"

	Can anyone point me in the right direction to find a compact flash
to
	IDE adapter that will work with the generic PC image using newer
Intel
	mainboards?  I've tried a few different ones from Addonics which
crash
	the system at various stages during boot and a generic one which
would
	not boot at all in an Intel motherboard.  Alternatively, suggestions
for
	properly configuring a CF to IDE adapter and getting it to work
without
	crashing would be appreciated as well.  We've settled for now on
using
	an Adaptec USB floppy/CF reader, but have found the boot time in
newer
	motherboards to be excessively long -- + 7 minutes.  We'd assumed
that
	was because FreeBSD 4 did not have USB 2.0 drivers for the newer
	chipsets from Intel (915 and higher).  Anyway, assistance, thoughts,
	commentary would be most welcome.
