Hi,

after successfull installation of FreeBSD on an old Compaq, I now  
want to install FreeBSD on an old iMac G3 PPC.
After reading the FreeBSD/PPC 6.0 installation instructions, I saw  
that built-in ethternet is not supported on all models.

Before I delete my OS X partition and installing FreeBSD, I would  
like to test if ethernet is supported. Without ethernet FreeBSD makes  
no sense for me.

How can I find out if ethernet is working before installing it?

Jochen
