I chose ftp as installation media. However, when I booted from boot image disks after configured kernel, I got a message as "ed0 not found". (ed0 is network card dev shown in kernel config). Consequently, when I tried to install FreeBSD through ftp, I was given only the PLIP and dial-up options [SLIP(com1), PPP(com1), SLIP(com2), PPP(com2)]. No direct network connetion was prompted. Thus, ftp could not be performed. FreeBSD docs says: "SMC Elite 16 WD8013 Ethernet interface .... are supported" Can anyone tell me what's wrong, and how to fix?
