Ok, I have given up on getting either the 3C589D PCMCIA Ethernet or the IBM PCMCIA Ethernet cards working for now and am simply trying to install from my C: DOS partition. I copied all of the files which make up the "bin" distribution directory into a directory named "C:\FREEBSD\BIN" just as the instructions say and I selected a "minimal" installation telling it to install from a DOS partition. It never asks for any information about what partition or where it's located and it fails during the installation simply saying that some parts went wrong and suggesting that I may want to use the scroll lock feature to look at the output. When I try pressing scroll lock and then scrolling backward I only see the Unix boot messages and nothing else. The last messages are: rootfs is 1450 Kbyte compiled in MFS /stand/sysinstall running as init Suggestions? /raj ...........................................................................
