Any ideas? just another data point. i had exactly the same problems with a dell inspiron 3800 and freebsd 3.4. (coincidently enough i was also trying 3.4 because 4.0 doesn't support my Xircom ethernet card) I eventually gave up and went back to 4.0, which installed from cdrom fine. still witing for ethernet though ;-( -garrett x----------------------------------------------------------------------x | rooneg@rpi.edu garrett rooney | | http://www.rpi.edu/~rooneg unix geek | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | unrequited love is neat because it lasts so much longer - w. t. c. | x----------------------------------------------------------------------x To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
