Hi all, I am trying to upgrade my system from scratch with an extra i/o board an a bigger drive installed so I have coms1-4. The techie has installed it OK and run test software and cmos recognises 3 & 4 the newies. Problem is ( and PS I have the old small drive working as a router box for my LAN beautifully so I know the hardware in general is OK with FBSD) now I am installing FBSD (CD install) with the 2 i/o boards (originally only one) and during install it doesn't seem to find the coms 3&4. I haven't got as far as a reboot on install completion yet but I would perhaps have thought FBSD might look for any hardware configured in the visual mode install thing? It finds a new netcard OK....why not the 2 extra coms? Thanks in advance... Signed confused! Keith Spencer Townsville Australia
