Hello, I installed FreeBSD from a partition on my dos drive for my notebook, a 486dx4 100. The first install proved to me that the system just needed the 200Mb if I wanted to run Xwindows. So I reinstalled, installing the docs, man pages and the binaries. I figured, i'd do what I did when I installed linux at home, and simply get the ppp connection up and download the xwindows files and install them. Well...the best of plans...<g> I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to get my pccards to work. I currently have two of them, a 3Com Ethernet/Modem Combo card and a Reveal 14.4 fax/modem. Now on the boot, it see's both of them; however, it lists them as zp during the boot. They are not present as zp in the dev directory, they are however, present as card0 and card1. I looked at the POA pages and think that I have already got this part installed, since the pccard.conf.sample was already in the directory. I created a pccard.conf based upon the sample, and tried it. No luck. I changed the rc.conf to YES for PC Cards. No luck. So, based upon all of this. Does anyone know of a really good, really detailed Handbook or FAQ for installing PC Card Modems other than the PAO pages? Or, if I create the PAO bootdisk, will I have to completely reinstall the system, or can I just have the PAO extensions and modifications added to my current system? How do I tell if PAO is installed? Please provide me a cc copy to this e-mail address as I am not a member of the group. I did join, but downloading the 100+ e-mails a day was too much, since I pay by the minute for my phone connection. I appreciate the assistance.
