I've never really used floppies much with FreeBSD, but I guess that without a working network you have to. Anyway, I think you need to do this: (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Make sure it's a good floppy and properly DOS formatted, or it might crash the system. mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt dmesg > /mnt/dmesg.txt umount /mnt Regards, Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: peter kok [SMTP:peter@sweda.com.hk] > Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 1999 9:54 AM > To: Bond, Jeffery > Subject: Re: RE network card > > Hello Jeffery > > thank you for your great help > > now i try to copy the dmesg 'message' to floppy > but i forget the command. > pls tell me > > thank you again > Peter > > "Bond, Jeffery" wrote: > > > Hi Peter, > > > > If the card is set to IRQ10 using jumpers, and dmesg reports it as 10, > there > > should be no problem.
