Hi Folks The problem hasn't gone away - no network card is identified. I have now tried the following: 1) Change network card (tested both Realtek and DLink) 2) Try both FreeBSD 6.0 and 5.4 (no difference) 3) Try boot without ACPI (same result on 6.0 and 5.4: can't find hard discs) 4) Reset BIOS to factory defaults (no difference) If nobody has any bright ideas, I'll just have to go back to struggle on with Linux for this project and try FreeBSD again when I've got other hardware I can play with. (My reason for moving from Linux for this project was the fact that the BSD kernel seems better suited to working with PPS timekeeping - trying to turn an aged Thinkpad into a stratum 1 time server.) I can only assume that FreeBSD has some problem with my MoBo or BIOS. Cheers M -- Matthew Smith South Australia http://www.kbc.net.au
