When trying to install FreeBSD the following message appears:- From my dmesg: > sis0: port 0xa000-0xa0ff mem 0xe6000000-0xe6000fff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pic 0 > sis0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:18:72:10:40 > sis0: MII without any PHY! > device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6 Then the device disappears and is not accessible. Any tips? Patches? Information? This problem is especially tiresome as this motherboard is fitted in a low-profile case which does not allow for full size PCI cards, so I can't even fit a normal network card to get around the issue. Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter. best Regards, Andrew Starkey.
