I still haven't found someone who's free yet, but another question came in from someone who worked with our install but doesn't have a T20 of his own. What version of freebsd have you been trying? In our case, the CS dept and the student ACM put together something which initially was 4.1-stable as of the last weekend in August. They also added some work of their own, as we have this screwy 3com ethernet card which neither Linux nor FreeBSD had drivers for. One of the students wrote the freebsd driver for that card. They soon moved up to an image based a 4.1.1-stable, after 4.1.1 release (obviously...). That also has worked. Anyone who then decides to install WinNT and add freebsd is hosed up in the manner that you're seeing. As far as I know, that's only been about three or maybe four people. (we have at least forty running Win98+FreeBSD, and maybe another 40 running Win98+Redhat). --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
