I tried to install using 'intel EtherExpress pro10/100 PCI Fst Ethernet card" with HP brio ba210 H/W not having any os. I followed the steps from installation guide. These are the steps I followed: kern.flp mfsroot.flp skip kernel configuration /stand/sysinstall Main menu: standard Fdisk partition editior: A,Q Install Boot Manager for drive ad0: Standard freeBsd DiskLabel Editor: A, Q Choose Distributions: 8 user(verage user) esc choose installation media: 2 FTP Distribution site: ftp.au.freebsd.org network interface information required: Intel EtherExpress 10/100 IPV6, DHCP configurations : no, no Network configuration parameters: My test network confi. parameters.
