Once that completes I am able to partition the disks (2 IDE). I have a network NE2000 compatible card that it seems to recognize. I attempt to point to another PC running PC NFS server with the drive and directory exported. The bin.* (ie. bin.aa, bin.ab) files are located in this directory. When I choose install using NFS, the FreeBSD PC fails to recognize the ethernet card because it doesn't ask for TCP/IP configuration. It only asks that when I choose SLIP or PPP from com ports and of course that doesn't work. What do you think is the problem? How can I correct it? Thanks, Ian D.
