Tricker is actually burning the flash image. well it depends on the driver. Unless you have done some substantial work towards the integration with your fxp port, i remember the "ed" driver is significantly different (more complex) from the "ns8390.c" code, so backporting one driver to netboot is not easy. At least this was my experience with the "de" driver (things might be simpler for "pure" FreeBSD drivers such as fxp or the recent vintage of DEC clones from Bill Paul) cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO .
