Hello, I have freeBSD 4.2. I tried to install it on my DELL laptop. This laptop has 3COM 3C918 Network card. When I boot the laptop using freeBSD CD ROM, it boots and brings up the installation menu. Then the keyboard does not work to select any menu options. Any idea what is the reason? I tried removing the Network card and am able to boot and install FreeBSD successfully. If I shutdown and reboot everything is fine including keyboard. But when I try to boot with network card, it stops after a message something like "Mounting ....." and nothing works after this. Only option is to power off and remove the network card before power on. Then I checked the list of network cards supported by FreeBSD 4.2, and found that, 3COM 3C918 is not be supported. Please let me know if so, or guide me which version of FreeBSD supports this network card? Thanks in advance.
