Just some comments..
:> SCSI host adapters:
:> Adaptec AHA-152x (and other AIC-6260-based boards, such
:> as the SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter)
Additional note: without a boot ROM on these board, you can not boot
NetBSD from these boards.. IDE or other type of disk required.
:> MDA, CGA, VGA, SVGA, and HGC Display Adapters. (Note that not
:> all of the display adapters NetBSD/i386 can work with
:> are supported by X.)
Additional note: refer XFree FAQ.
:> Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions
:> about:
:> Adaptec AIC-7770-based SCSI host adapters (including the
:> Adaptec AHA-274x, AHA-284x, and AHA-294x families).
:> ....
Draw a distinction between them.
* May be supported soon.
* not supported for a while, or forever X-<
