Questions:

    OS: FreeBSD 4.1
    HW: local   IBM PC 365, a PPro 200
        remote  IBM PC 365, a PPro 200

    This question was prompted, in part,
  by Lehey's book, "The Complete FreeBSD".
  I am trying to do a network NFS install.
  FYI, I've been running FreeBSD since 2.1
  though this is the first attempt at a network
  install.

    Remote: NE2000 card over RG59 coax,
            mounted CD-ROM with Ver 4.1, CD #1.

    local  : NE2000 card over RG59 coax.
  
    The problem is that when I select a NFS install,
  the screen that is presented to me to choose from,
  only lists PPP and SLIP, both being serial port
  methods.  Thus, if I chose one of them, things
  don't work as I have no serial port connectivity
  betwixt the machines - just the ethernet coax.

     Am I ignoring something?  It seems that the
  OS should detect the ethernet card and ASK me
  to enter either the IP address or the fully
  qualified domain name of the remote.  Additionally,
  it should ASK the remote's device name.  E.g.,

     UrsaMax.Ursa.com:/mnt/cdrom  -  the remote.

     Any help getting this to work will be appreciated.
