ISO image used: ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.4/FreeBSD-8.4-RC3-i386-disc1.iso I just chose to Configure the system, selected Networking, chose NO to the IPv6 configuration choice, and YES to the DHCP configuration choice, then hit Alt-F2 to watch relevant output. This was the result: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=13718 ...with the fxp0 physif up/down messages continuing indefinitely. fxp0 on the system is the Intel 82559. Shot of console's dmesg: http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=13720 Nothing is connected to fxp1. Key points for those asking me to help debug: - I only have VGA console on this box - I do not have an IDE hard disk of any sort for temporary OS installation, setup, kernel testing, etc.. - The system cannot boot USB media of any sort, so memsticks are out - The ATAPI drive is CD-only; there is no DVD support, so there's no easy way to get a "real" shell with full utilities (i.e. "Fixit") So if someone wants to take a stab at this, they'll need to do so and make me an ISO. Sorry that I can't make things easier. :-( This definitely needs to get fixed before 8.4-RELEASE. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
