It means that > the system has not recognized the board? Yes. This is your problem. The option will only be presented if the board has been successfully probed. You can boot "-c" at the boot prompt, and type "visual" to set the driver to see the card. You will need to know the card parameters (IRQ, base address, etc.) before doing this. If this is a PCMCIA version of the card, you will want h's boot disk. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
