What I posted was: ------------ Kang HoGwan(9625M01) (sisyphus@madonna.postech.ac.kr) wrote: : Is there anybody who succeeded in installing FreeBSD : on the box with 3C589C? I'm completely new to this, so I've no real idea what I'm doing... I've got a Toshiba 430cdt with a 3C589D-TP card. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.7 on the system, without much idea of actually what is in the Toshiba. I've copied the boot floppy, and can load it, but the install refuses to recognise that there is an ethernet card in the system (it half gets there as the green light on the connector does light up, but I'm left with only a slip or ppp network interface). I guess the 589D is an updated 589C; is this likely to be the problem? Finally, does anyone know what the CD-drive is in this system? ------------ What I ought also to have said was that I was trying to use the zp ethernet interface; I'd deleted all the others. Thanks for any help you could provide.
