I apologize. My post was hasty. I found the clue in the bsdi-users post cited below. My problem was in BIOS. Though my BIOS (whatever runs on an HP Pavilion 6350) doesn't state PnP BIOS explicitly, I switched the OS specification from Win98/NT5.0 to Other. This, I believe, turned off PnP. I'm installing through FTP at this instant. >From: "Trina and Peeter Pirn" <tp_pirn@hotmail.com> >To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org >Subject: 3c905B-TX install failure >Date: Sun, 25 Jul 1999 00:27:54 PDT > >Woody Carey reported to this list 7/2: "I am running 3.2 on a 3Com 3c905-B, >which worked fine OOTB (GENERIC) kernel." > >I have had the opposite experience with the installation of 3.2-RELEASE >(GENERIC kernel) with my 3c905B-TX NIC.
