Toshiba 4005CDS 4.0 snap 06/23 Netgear FA410 <<== yes it is working. I've trashed my setup to the point where all I get is an endless cycle of reboots. Trying to stop the boot process and boot -s. It still just reboots endlessly. Thanks to lots of help from posters here my network was up and could be started manually after bootup. I was working on a way to start my network connection during boot and had tried putting something like: ifconfig_ed0="inet ed0 xxx.xxx.x.2 netmask 255.255.255.0" or similar...I don't have it now but it was right out of the book. Then: route add default xxx.xxx.x.1 (This is an ethernet connection .... the default route is needed to access the internet thru a IPmasqed linux box.) That seemed to fail because the pccard were not initialized yet So I wanted to try to start it later by putting something in /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.loca /bin/ifup-ed0 This is a script that says: #!/bin/sh sleep 15 ifconfig ed0 xxx.xx.x.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up sleep 4 route add default xxx.xx.x.1 ## done I tried booting with an fixit floppy but just get the same boot prompt and cycling reboots.. The fixit is from an older release.. Is that important? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
