(was - installing FreeBSD from PCMCIA devices) Reply-To: wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk Date: 26 Jan 2001 09:44:52 +0000 Message-ID: Lines: 24 User-Agent: Gnus/5.0808 (Gnus v5.8.8) XEmacs/21.1 (Channel Islands) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi all, Sorry to keep bugging with this question, but I really want Linux off of my laptop. The laptop is a Sony PCG505. I have tried to install FreeBSD from the pcmcia cdrom drive, and by booting off of floppies and then installing over the pcmcia network card (3Com). Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I just need to get the install going and then I'll be ok, but I can't even get that done. I have tried all of the memory address options with IRQ's 3 and 10, but it can never find the pcmcia device. If I can't get the pcmcia side of things fixed, what are my other options to do an install ?
