I've a Dell Latitude CP (233) which I want to set up again for use with FreeBSD. I obtained a new hard drive, more ram, etc. The problem is the boot disks do not initialize the PCMCIA network cards. In the past, I would have to boot up windows, and do a soft reboot to get into FreeBSD (another partition). This time, I want it fully dedicated. The NICs I have: 3C574-TX (worked, but needed initialization) and 3COM Megahertz 10/100 LAN+56k modem card. Is there a special boot floppy I can obtain which will properly initialize the cards?
