That's because there's no working support in current/5.x for the YE-Data pcmcia cards. It still works in 4.x, but not 5.x, alas. I've done some work to make it happy, but it still isn't happy with that work. The first problem is the fast interrupt, but even with that fixed there's been enough changes in the floppy driver to make it no longer work. : 5.3-RC1 gets much further than 5.2.1 on this libretto: it loads : Boot, Kern1, Kern2, then Boot, goes through Fdsisk & disklabel, then : (as there's only 1 pcmcia slot, & I cant even with a device : rescan get it to see an ethernet pcmcia or pcmcia cdrom : card) ... I try to do ftp install, using PLIP or SLIP ... : & find it doesnt see either of the 2 serials (I guess one : is mouse) or the parallel port, as well as not recognising : the fresh plugged in & rescanned 3C589C pcmcia ethernet : (that works well on other FreeBSD boxes) That's because the L-50 and L-70 machines have only ISA PCMICA bridges, and that's not yet completely working. I'll try to fix this as I have at least one older laptop that I'd like to see working that needs this. Warner
