You have to make sure that your machine is using a network card that is recognized by the kernel on the boot floppy. (You can see the list of recognized devices during visual configuration.) If you're using a PCI NIC, you should have no problems. However, if you're using an ISA NIC (ed0, etc) you need to make sure that the settings for the card are set appropriately during the visual configuration, otherwise the card will not be detected. -- Matt Emmerotn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
