Well, for one thing, for the AWE64 you also need the line: device sbc Then, since you have two sound devices in your machine, you also need to do a "MAKEDEV snd1", otherwise bothdevices will be competing for the same resources. > Now, for the firewall thing, I commented out the NICs I don't have, and > just left ed0 and xl, because on boot up with the GENERIC kernel it > lists my NICs as ed0 and xl0.

If both cards are PCI, then you're enabling the wrong entries. Look under the PCI network interfaces section instead. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
