I had to do a network installtion from work, as we couldn't find the FreeBSD CDRom anywhere...:( (Except for version 1.0) It took me a while to figure out that I could do the UserConfig from that first menu, as I had been trying to do it under the Custom install menu option. Once I got in there though, It took me a while to figure out which device ID the Network card was, THEN which IRQ it's on. (Made more tedious by the fact that 3Com only supports in production items anymore on their web site.)
