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,
