Try it to install. When sysinstall starts, you will get an error message, that if_* could not loaded up. After the Detecting devices, please wait... message try to set the media to CDROM, and you should get the error... >Fix: For the network interfaces is simple: don't compile it into the kernel, but if bogus hardware present the hangup, try to remove it or disable it from bios while installing. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
