I am trying to install FreeBSD on an old laptop that used to run various versions of Windows. I have two problems... 1. The installation process appears not to see my PCMCIA cards. Running pccardd says "No PC-CARD slots". That's a shame really, because my ethernet card is essential. How do I convince the system that there really are card slots? 2. Resolution is not helped by the install process not showing the Kernel Configuration Menu that is described in section 2.3.2 of the documentation. How can I get to this menu to check my system configuration? uname -a reports: FreeBSD <hostname> 5.2.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE #0: <date> root@wv1u.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Martin Phillips Ladybridge Systems 17b Coldstream Lane, Hardingstone, Northampton NN4 6DB +44-(0)1604-709200
