It was the exact kernel from the floppy boot = (floppy.flp) 5.2.1 Release. When I use 5.2.1 boot, and 5.2.1 msfroot to load the machine the Ether = adapter is there, and works. When I take the 5.2.1 floppy boot kernel copyt it the HD under = /boot/kernel the machine boots but no NIC. How can I add it back in??? Thanks Much, Eric =20
