Hello all, I need to rebuild a FreeBSD 2.2.8 box that had a hard drive crash. I need version 2.2.8 to support some antiquated (relatively) wireless cards. I tried compiling the 4.0-current kernel with support for these cards, but failed, and thought it would be easier to install version 2.2.8 (which I know works with the wireless cards). Now, I have the "src" directory from the /FreeBSD/branches/2.2-stable/ ftp directory on my own ftp server. Doing an installation from the boot floppies I created from the 4.0-current source has failed many times, many different ways. Are there different boot floppies that I need to use with 2.2.8? Can I use the 4.0 boot floppies and redirect to an ftp site that has the 2.2-stable source? If so, how? Everything I've tried has failed. Please cc any reply to jjones@nwnets.com, since I am not subscribed to this mailing list. Thanks in advance for any guidance!
