files. They are now both basically the same. I also modified the driver list in HARDWARE.TXT: add the adw and isp drivers, and indicate that the uha driver isn't yet supported under CAM. This includes specific mention of all supported NCR and BusLogic models, additional qualification of the supported DPT and QLogic models, and some additions to the list of supported onboard Adaptec chips. The hope is, of course, that this will lead to fewer questions like "is the froboz SCSI controller supported?" I think the formatting of the new entries looks okay, but someone with a better eye for things like that might want to look at this. |

TARGET AUDIENCE:
----------------
This release is aimed primarily at early-adopters and the various
other folks who want to get involved with the ongoing development
of FreeBSD and are willing to deal with a few bumps in the road.
We do our best to ensure that each snapshot works as advertised,
but tracking -current is a process which frequently has its off
days.
If you're both technically proficient and know exactly what you're
getting into here (e.g. you've been following -current) then this
snapshot is probably for you. If you're more interested in doing
business with FreeBSD than in playing with the cutting edge of
technology, however, then 2.2.x is almost certainly your best bet.
