I cannot install FreeBSD so I cannot give you this info.
>Description:
I try to install FreeBSD on my proxy/firewall machine at home. It is a Pentium 100 with ALI chipset. I have a 3COM 3C905B network card. I want to do a network install over FTP from my Linux workstation but when I try to specify the media I get as choices only paralel and serial connections.

The card does not appear at boot (xl0...).

I am using FreeBSD since version 3.2 (but on different machines) and I succesfully installed FreeBSD 4.0 Release Candidate over the network in a machine using the same network board.

The network board is fine since I have installed (and working normally) OpenBSD 2.7 on the same machine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to do a network install using a 3COM 3C905B network card in the client.
