I've been attempting to install 5.0-RELEASE on an IBM 770x laptop and not having much luck. Using the kernel and mfsroot floppys my xircom card (Realport card and modem (rem56G-100)) is not detected, and trying to boot from the mini ISO hangs, my final try was to copy the mini ISO to a fat16 partion as per the FAQ, but sysinstall from the floppys says it cant find anything useful there. I'm pretty sure its not hardware as I have a slackware linux partion which boots and runs fine. any hints or suggestions gratefully recieved. ps. i'm going to try 4.7-RELEASE tonight. wish me luck ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vince Hoffman Systems Administrator Euro RSCG Circle (London) P: 020 7959 7576 M: 0777 5822213 Icq: 50905590 PGP ID: 0xC859C861 "A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with." -- Tennessee Williams ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
