I am trying to do a network NFS install. FYI, I've been running FreeBSD since 2.1 though this is the first attempt at a network install. Remote: NE2000 card over RG59 coax, mounted CD-ROM with Ver 4.1, CD #1. local : NE2000 card over RG59 coax. The problem is that when I select a NFS install, the screen that is presented to me to choose from, only lists PPP and SLIP, both being serial port methods. Thus, if I chose one of them, things don't work as I have no serial port connectivity betwixt the machines - just the ethernet coax. Am I ignoring something? It seems that the OS should detect the ethernet card and ASK me to enter either the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the remote. Additionally, it should ASK the remote's device name. E.g., UrsaMax.Ursa.com:/mnt/cdrom - the remote. Any help getting this to work will be appreciated. august ursa@cris.com --------------15FB7483794BDF32446B9B3D-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
