I am trying to install on this type of machine. It is a IBM PC Server, Pentium Pro 200 MHz. It locks up with waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle. I have a couple of questions.... 1.) I made a kernel small enough to fit on a floppy. I made a floppy with the deafult kernel image and then just mounted it on the other box that I built the kernel on. After that I just swapped the kernel. How do I change the default install kernel (instead of the kernel that is used for floppies?) If I compile it on another box, is it possible to replace the kernel on the CD with that one, and burn it? I was able to run the install but it installed the generic kernel which has 15 sec wait time for SCSI which locks up and it has no SNMP. Does this make any sense? The only reason I am going to all this trouble is because I want to stay with FreeBSD! 2. I have this generic network card that always brings up the error message that there is a TX underrun. The kernel increases the threshold ok but the one of two things happens... 1. The threshold goes back to the deafult creating the reacuring error message. 2. The thing locks up. The question is where I can specify the parameter so that the threshold is adequate for the device. Thanks for your help!
