| raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Is it possible to build and install FreeBSD so as to be bootable and access the internet with an Ethernet card that doesn't work in FreeBSD? Could Ethernet support be obtained through UEFI? Or could FreeBSD be installed on another computer or on a NAS NFS share? NAS would probably not have TFTP but would have NFS and iSCSI capability. Motherboard has PXE capability. Server OS for FreeBSD installation on other computer could be NetBSD, where the Ethernet (Realtek 8111E or 8168, re(4) driver) works well. Tom
