Message-ID: Date: Sun, 11 Jan 1998 12:53:38 +0000 (GMT Standard Time) X-Mailer: Simeon for Win32 Version 4.1.5 Build (44) Evaluation X-Authentication: IMSP MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, all, I want to install FreeBSD 3.0 for my research. From the introduction, it should support my network card, AMD PCnet/PCI Ethernet Adapter. However, when I boot my PC with the boot floppy and enter the menu for hardware configuartion, I could not find an very appropriate item for my network card. Perhaps, I can choose the item, Isolan ..NE32 VL. The device is lnc0. After that, when the program run "Probing..", it can find in PCI 0 there is the card, but the device number is "lnc1". I do not know whether my network card has been run. After that, when I enter the menu "media", I try to use "FTP" to install the FreeBSD 3.0. However, I can find the option about Ethernet Installation in the submenu, except lp0, com1, com2... I do not know whether my network card has been run. If not, how can I make the configuration so that I can install FreeBSD 3.0 from Internet. Another Problem is, after I fail to install it from Internet, I try to install it from DOS Partition. I download all the files of the directory "BIN" and save them in "C:\3.0-RELEASE\BIN". When I want to proceed the minimal installation from DOS Partition, there is a fault about "...... VTY4, panic: vm_..." . I installed Windows98 in my DOS Partition, but the file system is "FAT 16". I really hope to successfully install it earlier, so really hope some implication about my above two problems.
