You'll need the patches from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/cam and the boot floppies from http://www.freebsd.org/~abial/cam-boot. > Furthermore, it gives the same message about the Ethernet Card > (device=9055) which is > a 3COM 905B, which according the the FreeBSD handbook also should be > supported. The 905 yes, the 905B no. However, there is a driver you can add to the system at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/3Com/. You have just too new hardware. :) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
