Hello list!
=20
I had a *hell* of a time trying to get FreeBSD 5.2.1 installed on a =
Netserver E60.  PII 450 scsi
=20
During the agp0 probe the system would lock up tight.
=20
Here's what I did.  Made some floppies, (since they don't have AGP =
support on them)
Booted System, went thru the whole install and then right before Exiting =
Install, I ran an Emergency Shell on TTY4.
=20
Then I FTP'd the gunziped kernel file into /boot/kernel.  Then rebooted =
system.
=20
System came up fine (no lockup)  but now I have no ethernet, yet the std =
boot and mfsroot floppies do have an Intel nic driver on them
that works, after all I used the floppy boot discs to FTP the floppy =
kernel onto my scsi HD.
=20
Geesh, what an ordeal. (If you didn't know how to go about it as I =
didn't)
=20
What am I doing wrong?  Is this the wrong way?  I tried to let the HD =
boot up to the loader prompt after the 5.2.1 install and then set =
currdev=3D/dev/fd0
and then do a load kernel (this did not work), and then to a =
setcurrdev=3D<back to my HD> so I can boot from it but no luck.
=20
Anyway my machine is up but it's pretty useless without Network...
=20
=20
TIA
Eric
