Hi, Just wondering what the status is with regard to drivers for the X1's onboard Davicom ethernet? Trawling through the list archive, the most recent relevant post seems to be:- >Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2003 09:46:48 -0800 >From: Maxime Henrion <mux@freebsd.org> >[...] >The dc(4) driver needs to be converted to the busdma API before working >on sparc64. It's next on my TODO list and I'll take care of it once I'm >finished with fxp(4). I'd be willing to help out with this assuming I can get a suitable dev box going (most of my machines are FreeBSD 4.x/i386) - would have to be in my "copious" spare time though. Which leads on to the stupid question... I was trying to install fbsd 5.1 onto the X1 from CD... Which works fine up to a point, ie I can create the filesystems, but then the way the sparc64 CDs are laid out bites me... The distribution sets are on a different CD to the boot image and there doesn't appear to be a way to swap CDs mid-install. So, am I missing something obvious? Or is the CD thing a no-go and I'll have to install via SLIP or some such? Pete.
