Hello,

I have several installation questions RE the Toshiba Portege 3010/3015
(same machine different model numbers).  I have searched for answers on the
PAO website/faq and the freebsd website, no luck.  If however, these
questions have already been asked answered , my aplogies and I'll accept
flaming as the price of getting some answers :).

I atttempting to install FreeBSD-3.2 on a Toshiba Portege 3010 (only
modification is that I've added 64M of RAM for a total of 96M) using either
a Panasonic KXL-D740 PCMCIA Drive (the PC card is a Qlogic FAS card) or a
Megahertz 10BT PC Card.

I'm using the PAO release 3.2 kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to boot and begin
the install process. 

When I get to kernel config, I have 17 conflicts, most are easely resolved
(uneeded drivers, etc) however I have to change the memory port for my
Megahertz card to 0x3e2 in order to avoid conflicting with my built in
sound card (Yamaha OPL3) and I get 2 pcic0 entries, only 1 of which is
assigned IRQ 11 (no probelm delete the other) and 2 pcici1 entries (no IRQ
assigned)  I have used multiple combinations of driver deletions and have
gotten the laptop to boot into sysinstall.  At the PC Card Controller
Screens I have excluded IRQ 5 (being used by sound card) and used the
default memory space.  Using VT2 I've observed FreeBSD recognizing my
Megahertz card as sn0 and assigning IRQ3.  My Panasonic/Qlogic SCSI card is
NOT recognized, although the kerenl knows its inserted.

I go into novice install, creat my slice and setup my partitions (No
Problem :).  When I go to install from a local ftp server, ftp won't work.
IFCONFIG -A tells me that sn0 is up and running.  When I try to ping my
laptop from the ftp server (5 feet away) I get 100% packet loss.  

I'm STUCK and need help.  I would like to transition to FreeBSD from Linux,
however, if I can't get my hardware to work I will have to set aside
FreeBSd and concentrate on Linux, due the greater amount of driver support
(something I would prefer NOT to do)

Thanks in advance and I will gladly accept being told I'm a goofball and
missed something teribly obvious in return for getting my laptop up and
running.
