This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C1E3AE.08FD09A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable 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. ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C1E3AE.08FD09A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2600.0" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I'm pretty new in using = freebsd and=20 i'm trying to ftp install it</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>on my alpha <FONT = color=3D#800000=20 size=3D3>AXPpci33 desktop</FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I have installed SMR as = indicated in=20 the installation guide</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>and then fdimage the = kern.flp and the=20 mfsroot.flp.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Nevertheless after = giving the command=20 >>>boot dva0</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>and installing kern and = mfsroot the=20 system goes directly</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>into SysConfig menu = although i would=20 expect</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>to enter the UserConfig = menu as=20 indicated in</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2><A=20 href=3D"http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install= -start.html">http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/in= stall-start.html</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>The result is that i = cannot=20 reconfigure my kernel.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I try to reconfigure = the kernel=20 because the SysConfig doesn't recognize my ethernet card</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>for an unknown=20 reason.</FONT> <FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I read = somewhere that=20 this can be due to conflicts</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#000000 size=3D2>in the hardware list of = the=20 kernel.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML> ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C1E3AE.08FD09A0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
