Hi, folks, I seem to be running into a common problem, but I can't seem to find a concrete resolution for it. When I boot up and go to the visual kernel config, I resolve all conflicts by removing all the other ether drivers, leaving only 'ed0'. However, when it goes to load the kernel, I get, "ed0 not found at 0x0280", and I am unable to select ethernet in my installation options. It seems that others have run into this, and gotten around it, as in http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=570745+574686+/usr/local/www/db/text/1995/freebsd-questions/19951203.freebsd-questions. However, I do not know what is meant by, "telling it to not probe for other ethernet devices". The Ethernet card is plugged in and is even registering traffic on the network (ah, blinky lights...). Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as I do not have a FreeBSD CD handy. Thanks. -Joe Doyle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
