I loaded it once and everythnig seem to be just fine. I decided to load it a second time because I added a Ether net card that I did not have the first time around. (Some told me I would have to manually make changes to my kernel if I added it after I installed the BSD. My first Question is is that true? Next after adding the Ehther net card a 3COM 3c509b I started getting address conflicts at address 300. My CD-ROM is a Mitsumi CD-ROM and is set to IRQ - 10; Address - 300h; and DMA Channel - 5. My 3COM card was orginally set to Address 200 and IRQ 3, which I changed to IRQ 11 and Address 300, 310, 320 and 340 each of which gave me this same conflict at address 300. My CD ROM intermittely refuses to function. I keep getting an error saying that it can't mount some file on (/mnt (?)), when I try to load the files during the installation. If I keep trying to use it eventaully I can grab it and then it'll use it properally. I'm sure this has to do with the conflict I'm seeing upon load up. The errors I'm seeing on load up are: mcd0: version information is 10 M 4 mcd0: adjustded for newer drive mode mcd0: type mistsumi LU005S mcd0: at 0x300-0x303 irq 10 on isa mcd1: timed out getting status . . . ep0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 . le0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 ze0: not probed due to I/O adress conflict with mcd0 at 0x300 Is it that ep0, le0 and ze0 can only be set to I/O address 0x300? Am I really getting a conflict? Where should I see that my 3COM card was reconized? Currently I have used DOS FDISK to del my FreeBSD partion and reinstate my DOS Partition. This seemes to be the only effective way to go back and reinstall FreeBSD. Please let me know if there is an easier way. I tried to preserve my e and f filesystems from the first installation and the BSD's FDISK program told me that any non mounted filesystems were automactically preserved. < BULL$#!+ > They were lost. well as far I could tell. HELP! This is a desprite plea from a UNIX Todler! ^^^^^ @ 0 0 @ & ~ Michael Caughey.
