X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0 (Win16; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: hackers@freebsd.org Subject: FreeBSD installation problems Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hey guys I am having a tiny bit of a problem installing the current release of FreeBSD. I am attempting to do it via the ftp media method, anf it will boot of the installation floppy ok and everything in to the installation menu. When I pick the connection device lp0 it is not able to reset it and the installation dies from that point. We are using a pent 100 and our ethernet card is an Intel Pro Ethernet Express 100 b card with all the factory default settings. Prior to this the machine was used as a windows nt server but now it is bonked off after the fdisk from installing the FreeBSD. Anyhow maybe its a configuration problem with the ethernet card since its a fairly new one. Anyhow any help would be appreciated,i can't wait to get the os up and running :).
