[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm pretty new in using freebsd and i'm trying to ftp install it on my alpha AXPpci33 desktop I have installed SMR as indicated in the installation guide and then fdimage the kern.flp and the mfsroot.flp. Nevertheless after giving the command >>>boot dva0 and installing kern and mfsroot the system goes directly into SysConfig menu although i would expect to enter the UserConfig menu as indicated in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html The result is that i cannot reconfigure my kernel. I try to reconfigure the kernel because the SysConfig doesn't recognize my ethernet card for an unknown reason. I read somewhere that this can be due to conflicts in the hardware list of the kernel.
