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. ========================================================================= Jeffrey A.
