Could you explain how one does this before boot? I'd like to know because that's part of what i need to do to get my network up, and that would be wonderful not to have to use floppies to copy the bin files (minimum install) in order to be able to do a from-dos-partition-install... FreeBSD at install does not recognize the cdrom I have, nor the ethernet card, nor the floppy drive (but boots fine from it). And having bought a new HD, it was a fun moment to reinstall. (I still have to find a way to install windows but that OT). Cyril To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
