Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.53/R1) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, (I am unsure if the mail address is case sensitive...usually is! and so I repeat earlier message ...sorry) I am installing FBSD on a machine which has had FBSD on it before & so I know the hardware in general is OK. I have had 2 extra coms (3&4) installed via an extra i/o board. It is installed correctly, software tested on the system and all 4 coms appear in cmos. Although I have not completed the install of FBSD install is not detecting the new coms...just 1 & 2. I am using visual mode and there are no conflicts (all having been resolved) The 4 coms are using the usual interrupts. But when in install I get as far as configuring networking devices...IPs etc...there are only coms 1&2 No capice! Any ideas...is it that it won't pick it up until first re-boot after install and Then I have to get back into config menu??? Thanks for helping Keith Spencer Townsville Australia
