I downloaded the fixit, kern & mfsroot floppies and feed them to the machine as they're requested. Problem is that when I get to the kernel modules configuration, there is no driver for my network card, 3Com3c905 PCI. I checked the hardware notes at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.10R/hardware-i386.html and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=xl&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+4.10-RELEASE and the card I'm trying to use is definitely supported but I see no way to make it available to the installation process and I couldn't find a drivers floppy for the 4.10 release. How do I make the "xl(4)" driver available to the install process? A little guidance or referral to a faq would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dom ===== +------------------------------ | Dominic Caffey | Email: dcaffey_fl@yahoo.com +------------------------------ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
