evening, I'm trying to install freebsd via ftp on a p120 thinkpad w/24 meg of ram. The nic is a pcmcia linksys EtherFast 10/100 PC Card (pcmpc100). The install boots just fine, finds the card, seemingly gets it running (the link lights show activity), and lets me get as far as the /stand/sysinstall main menu. I'm just running a standard installation, nothing special or out of the ordinary. When I get to choosing an installation media, I pick FTP (not passive), the Primary Site, and am provided with two network interface choices. sl0, or ppp0. Ack! Neither of those is an ethernet interface, thats for sure. Am I doing something wrong here? Maybe I need to cast a spell (or hack around the installer)? My laptop is begging to run freebsd. Can you help? I really don't want to let her down =P -- yours in late night hacking and insanity causing sleep deprivation, ----------------------------------------- Benjamin Krueger <bkrueger@plexmedia.com> Systems Administrator / Software Engineer Plexus InterActive <www.plexmedia.com> ----------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
