To: Greg Lehey <grog@lemis.com> cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Greg, It says SIOCAIFADDR: 6... I have investigated further and the kernel is not probing for the fxp network card... Therefore, when it attempts to mount / via NFS, it failed to find an interface to configure and panics. My question now is: does anyone have any idea why it is not probing for fxp0??? The kenrel config file says "device fxp0", and the kernel does a probe when it is booting from the hard disk, but as soon as I try to boot the same kernel over the network it fails to... Any ideas?
