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.h=
tml

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.
