Hi all!

I'm new in these parts, but not new to *nix.  I'm trying to upgrade a
system with FreeBSD 5.4 to 7.2.

I've gotten the pxeboot to work, but somehow the network interface isn't
seen by the installer.

loader.rc:
===========
include /boot/loader.4th
include /boot/beastie.4th

\ Reads and processes loader.conf variables
start

load /boot/kernel/kernel
load -t mfs_root /boot/mfsroot
set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
boot

loader.conf:
============
mfsroot_load="YES"
mfsroot_type="mfs_root"
mfsroot_name="/boot/mfsroot"
if_bge_load="yes"

I added the if_bge line at that seems to be the module used on 5.4.

Any other leads?

Thanks in advance

Bruce
