If you install from CD or from a DOS partition you can then build a kernel with pccard support and it seems to work just fine. Installing 3.0 from a DOS partition seems to require a 2.2.[78] boot.flp, at least it did for me and I found a similar report on freebsd-mobile. Sending this from a laptop I just got done installing 2.2.8 on (slogin'd to my desktop) Dan -- Dan Busarow 949 443 4172 Dana Point Communications, Inc. dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
