I want to install the new FreeBSD release, so I have created the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppies. But when I boot them and start the installation FreeBSD is unable to install my netcard. I have a D-Link DFE-530TX adapter. When the FreeBSD installation boots it only shows (copied by hand): pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 20.0 (no driver attached) When I press alt-f2 it says: DEBUG: Loading module if_vr.ko [...] vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> \ port 0xdc00-0xdc7f mem 0xdfffff80-0xdfffffff \ irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0 vr0: couldn't map interrupt device_probe_and_attach: vr0 attach returned 6 I have a FreeBSD 4.6 cd which I have previously used to install from. When I boot with this cd it installs my netcard without problems. It shows vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> \ port 0xdc00-0xdc7f mem 0xdfffff80-0xdfffffff \ irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0 vr0: Ethernet address: 00:50:ba:09:3d:e0 and the netcard works in the installation. I also tried to press alt-f2, and as far as I can see there is nowhere module if_vr.ko is loaded (is this driver part of the loaded kernel?). It seems to me that I can install FreeBSD 5.0-Release by booting with my 4.6 cd and then using a "fixit" floppy on which I have put the correct sysinstall. Is this possible, and if it is, from where can I then get the program sysinstall? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
