OK, he's got a Kingston (generally dc driver) and is trying to do sysinstall and d-load over NIC. IME it doesn't matter what you pick in the "configuration" section of sysinstall --- whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA NIC drivers. After doing "kernel configuration in full-screen visual/CLI/skip" then sysinstall does an initial device probe, and when you get to "configure interface," it should be there. For the record, device miibus is enabled in -GENERIC kernel. If his NIC is *not* there when it's time to configure and start the d-load, it's a hardware/BIOS issue, or somebody's broke sysinstall(8).....or is there another option I'm missing?
