Thats right. I was thinking that same kernel would be on the floppy and CDROM, and if remaining drivers did not fit onto the floppy they would be on the drivers.flp option. Regardless, it works now. I guess its time I give up the very old (bad?) habbit of installing from a floppy-set and ftp :) I look forward to see how much data I can push through FreeBSD and IPF with gigabit ethernet cards on a PCI-X bus.
