Hey everybody, I tried to find the answer to my dilemma elsewhere, in particular the archives of this list, but to no avail. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions any of you might have regarding my problem. I'm attempting to do an ftp install of 3.4-RELEASE on my AST Ascentia J10 using a 3Com 3C589D. The problem is, after using the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp floppies, and enabling the driver for the card, the card is not being recognized. I made the two floppies from http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/ seeing as though the 589D card was on the support list. I know the card works because I tested it in a windows machine that I have and everything went fine. I know the slot is working seeing as though I had a 3Com 3C562D/3C563D in it when I was still booting windows. So after booting with the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, I kept the ep0 driver enabled in the Active Driver menu, and after it's done probing for the various devices, I hit Alt-F2 and see this: DEBUG: ioctl(3, TIOCCONS, NULL) = 0 (success) DEBUG: Term = cons25 DEBUG: Can't open PC-card controller /dev/card0. DEBUG: Fount a network device named lp0 DEBUG: Found a floppy devide for /dev/fd0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa0 to sl0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa0 to ppp0 DEBUG: Add mapping for dev/cuaa1 to sl0 DEBUG: Add mapping for /dev/cuaa1 to ppp0 DEBUG: Found a disk device named wd0 And from here, when I go through the install process, specify an ftp site, the choices I get to connect with do not include the ethernet card. Am I missing something obvious? Being new at this, I'm sure I am. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
