Actually, I found the solution earlier while browsing through ppp man page. And I hadn't had to type those zeros and ones, I just typed 'set ifaddr', and everything worked out. Interesting, huh? Anyway, it's better to play safe and type all the fictitious numbers, as you suggest. > > I think you can do the same trick from the sysinstall screen where you enter > your hostname, domain, nameserver address, etc., by specifying your IP address > as 10.0.0.1/0 and your gateway address as 10.0.0.2/0 but I haven't tried this. > I'll try it tonight, as I ran out of disk space on the laptop partway through > the install and need to try it again anyway. > > -Joe > I've tried that, too. But sysinstall wouldn't undersdand /0 at the end of IP address. At least in 3.4-RELEASE (PAO-nized) sysinstall thinks this is a bad address. > "Baatar" <baatar@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I'm trying to install FreeBSD-3.4 (PAO distribution) on my 486 > subnotebook > through FTP using an PCMCIA modem.

Besides I had to give ppp 'enable dns' command, otherwise all the efforts would be gone. But if you specify your DNS server, netmask, and default gateway correctly in the sysinstall screen, I don't think there would be much problem with installing over FTP. I guess, mine was "little bit" misconfigured. ;-) BTW, about the other ways of installing FreeBSD (particularly on laptop). I was trying to install it from my desktop PC using PCMCIA network card which is Portable Add-Ons IC Card+, but PAO seems can't bring up the interface. However after installing FreeBSD (with PAO-enabled kernel) from ftp over ppp connection, I was able to get it working. PAO does dums out CIS-tulip of my network card, but fails to assign resources to it, giving me a message saying 'particular card is not in card database. Is there anyway to getting such a card working at the install stage? I've been through PAO man pages but can't find a glue. IMHO pccardc could do some jobs in this direction. Any ideas?
