There are 5 (?) important files for beginners - README.TXT, HARDWARE.TXT,
INSTALL.TXT etc. Files are probably on your cdrom or are certainly on
ftp.freebsd.com etc. FreeBSD comes with kernel generic. Content of
generic is described, i think, in HARDWARE.TXT. But look for information,
if your token ring adapter is available under FreeBSD. All for you is in
this files!
