I have installed freebsd v2.2.7 on an old 486. It has a Promise IDE controller with a 540 meg WD & a 420 meg Conner, it also has a 3-com etherlink II nick card in it. The system boots just fine & I am able to telnet or ftp to the internet via my NT 4.0 server box which has wingate installed on it. My problem is when I try to plug in a modem card the system will not boot.. it tells me to insert a bootable floppy in A drive. I've tried both a pnp modem card (before & after recompiling a kernel with the pnp device) & I've also tried a non-pnp card with jumpers set to com1 irq4, com2 irq3, com3 irq5, and hoping for blind luck I've tried every single configuration possible. Also when I do try to boot using the floppy install disk I get a scrolling error message that says: ERROR: D:0x80 C:0 H:0 S:0 Now.. could this be a problem with the board? modem? Or perhaps I need a external modem? Any input you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Dan S.
