Here's the catch. You gotta know something about building the kernel
on bsd based unix. Given that, it's pretty easy to get it installed.
The worst that could happen if you screw this up is you may have to
re-install the OS from CD.
After untarring the tarball:
1) cd /usr/hdlc/dev
2) ./update
3) cd /sys/i386/conf
4) cp GENERIC CUSTOM #or whatever
5) echo "device eth0" >> CUSTOM # note append
5) cp files.i386 files.i386.dist #play it safe
6) cat /usr/hdlc/dev/files.i386 >> files.i386 # note APPEND!
7) /usr/sbin/config CUSTOM
8) cd ../../compile/CUSTOM
9) make
10) make install
11) /sbin/reboot
12) look for device probes for eth0-eth3 as in the install manual
if it doesn't boot you'll need to boot /kernel.old and see what's
up.
This is from memory, let me know if I skipped any steps.
Getting the links up an routing turned on will be another
hurdle I suspect you will have.
