No, you won't have /var/log/messages during installation. dmesg will be available via the Alt-F4 shell. Do you need the card at install time? It's easier to debug later. >>> I suspect that *BSD would work if it correctly identified the card >>> as NE2K compatible and just tried to do it. >> >> We call it FreeBSD or BSD, not *BSD. > > Well, I meant the entire BSD family {Net,Open,Free}BSD Understood.

I suspect we can fix it if you install 4.7. >>> Any way I can force that? >> >> Depends on the version you're running. I suspect I know a way if >> you're running 4.x. > > I'll try 4.x if it'll help. Should do. In the meantime, I'll check how to apply the same fix to 5.0. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
