The system description can be found here: http://www3pub.amd.com/products/cpg/easynow/prodbrief.html This system is "legacy-free" (i.e. no serial ports, no parallel port, no PC keyboard/mouse controller; that all is the province of USB). It also has no expansion slots, so adding in a supported PCI card is not poissible. Aside from the AMD K6-2, this system is built pretty much entirely of SiS support chips. >How-To-Repeat: Boot FreeBSD 4.6.2 GENERIC on the box. Observe: sis0: <SiS 900 10/100baseTX> port 0xe400-0xe4ff mem 0xdd901000-0xxx901fff irq 11 at device 1.1 on pci0 sis0: Ethernet address: 00:30:67:03:3f:19 sis0: MII without any PHY! device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6 observe that neither ifconfig nor netstat -i see the device once single user mode is achieved. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
