i cant have a look at /var/run/dmesg since i havent installed FreeBSD yet, or can I? my previous question (below) refers to a fresh fbsd installation which doesn't recognize either realtek, HP, or 3com cards... seems a little strange to me? I get a verbose bootlog (boot -v) but how can i get a look at it? I tried using an emergency shell but commands are very limited. Any pointers? thanks to all, oscar >Oscar Castaneda wrote: > >>hi, >> >>I asked a question before regarding 2 realtek pci nics (8139B & C) i >>had on a cyrix 586, 16MB RAM, 1.2 GB HDD.
