I have just changed my motherboard and consequently drive assignments and peripherals as well. The old board or processor crashed. :(( So the new board is an MSI 875-FISR - top of the line with a 3ghz pentium IV and Intel Gigabit lan card and kGEforce FX5200 video card. The previous system was a dual pentium II with 450mhz processors. The problem is the following: how do I boot and reconfigure the system? What is installed is FBSD 4.8 stable. When I boot up using the kernel.GENERIC, I get version 4.5 with limited functions... so, I don't really know what todo with it. Whe I boot up with the 4.8 SMP kernel, kit freezes just after the network card is not recognized. I am hoping I don't have to reinstall everything as that tends to be a PITA. Also, I don't know if FBSD supports the built-in Intel Gigabit network adapter; the hardware.txt does not show it. And what about serial ATA and Promise Fasttrack 378? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks in advance, Pippo
