Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I am/was trying to install the FreeBSD system on my computer, when i got to the part about which media to use. I had been planing on using the FTP method, retrieved all the pertinent information to my access to the web, ran the setup/install procedure from the boot.flp disk, and when I went to choose the FTP media, only had choices for com1 and com2.. My modem is on com4. How do i go about changing the setting in the default for the comport so that i have access to my modem with the install disk? (or can in not be done..) I will re-read the installation manual again, and see if there is any reference to this, and the FAQ as well, though i don't remember seeing it the first time through. Any information that you have for me would be greately appriciated. Thank you for your time, Ray Bornhofer..
