I am trying to install the PAO variant of FreeBSD 2.2.7 on my sony pcg719c laptop by doing a net install. The ether card is a 3com 3c589 w/xjack On my first attempt, the install went smoothly with no problems whatsoever until I rebooted the system. The machine comes back up with a 'read error'. I don't sweat this since I specified 'dangerously dedicated' and read somewhere that makes some machines cry. It doesn't suprise me that Sony is one of these machines. So, back to reinstall. This time I do the same thing as last, minus skipping the fdisk stuff. Now the machine adds the default route, does the DNS lookup on ftp.freebsd.org and gives me the message 'Logging into ftp@ftp.freebsd.org'. Well, I'm watching the SNMP stats on the hub port that this machine is attached to and it is doing no such thing. If I let it sit there long enough, it will error out and return me to the main menu. Anyone have any clues on this one? Please CC me on any replies as our mail-to-news gateway seems to be out of order (but that at least is not my problem). -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
