I am having a hell of a time installing freebsd (4.1-RELEASE) on a
laptop. I have a "laplink" parallel cable that I can pass packets
on by setting up the link with a shell. But the sysinstall passes
ifconfig the wrong parameters. Is their an easy way to tell sysinstall
that I don't want it to try to setup the network? I am also having
similar problems with slip.
on another note if you are still reading my ethernet card does not work.
I have a 3c589d, the ep0 driver reports "No irq!?". I have seen suggestions
to use the 3com utility to set the irq and base address which I have done
but no suggestions about what to set them to. Currently I ran the auto
settings and the the card up for dos use. The settings reported by the
card are irq 3 and base addresss 300.
Any help (redirection included) is much appreciated. Please cc me as I
am not on this list.
Thanx,
BMG
