A RT8039 is not mentioned in the release hardware notes. Which network card from DEC? Which type of NE? Are thos ISA or PCI cards? Go, read what is supported: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.5R/hardware-i386.html How do you knoe, that your network cards are not detected? > 2°) Nothing to do with a second PC.

If I remember correctly FreeBSD 4.5 shipped with XFree 3.x - there was no support in XFree 3.x or the i810. > > Both E-Machine PC's!

XFree is not FreeBSD else the network drivers. so FreeBSD _is_ loaded "correct".
