So Paul, better change the ix0 to ex0 and compile the kernel. BUT, looking at LINT,v reveals this: device ix0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 32768 vector ixintr This is something which changed in 1997, the ex0 driver appeared in rev 1.306 of LINT. So my question is: what version of FreeBSD are you trying to install/use? > device fxp0 > > That is the card supported by the GENERIC kernel. Which is indeed PCI and not what we want. regards, --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven join #FreeBSD on Undernet asmodai(at)wxs.nl Time is merely a residue of Reality...
