Unlike the drivers on mfsroot.flp, those on drivers.flp need to be manually loaded from within sysinstall(8), using the Configure->Load KLD menu item. This is mostly applicable to floppy installs. CDROM installs use a standard GENERIC kernel. The installation chapter of the Handbook doesn't document this. >How-To-Repeat: A good example of this is a floppy boot to sysinstall, followed by an attempted network installation over an em(4) interface. >Fix: Turn the above notes into real English, mark them up (screenshots as necessary), and drop them into the right place in the installation chapter of the Handbook. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the messagehelp
