I didnt get any further. Not sure if Im doing the correct thing. 1. I chose #6 from the boot menu 2. I entered "show" to see all the hints 3. I entered `set hint.ed.0.port="0x300"` (without the ``; see below for why I did this) 4. I entered "show" again to verify the change 5. I entered "boot" The dmesg goes by, and I didn't see ed0 load up. I scrolled back, and its definately not in the list. I tried continuing the install, and I dont have a choice to use ed0 in the network setup, to pull sources off the internet to install FBSD. So Im not sure what is going on... For the reason why I only modified ed0's hint port is because its the only setting different from what Im currently using (settings wise) under 4.10 (and all the versions since 3.4 if I remember correctly). gatekeeper# uname -a FreeBSD gatekeeper.trini0.org 4.10-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #0: Mon May 31 06:25:01 EDT 2004 gsam@gatekeeper.trini0.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GATEKEEPER i386 gatekeeper# dmesg | grep ed0 ed0 at port 0x300-0x31f iomem 0xd8000-0xdbfff irq 10 on isa0 ed0: address 00:00:c0:29:52:48, type WD8013EPC (16 bit) gatekeeper# ifconfig | grep ed0 ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 gatekeeper# more /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GATEKEEPER | grep ed0 device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 Thanks
