Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD version 3.2 on a Dell system that has a PCI 3COM 3C905C ethernet card installed. The problem is that the kernel does not see this card (I got the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp files from: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/3.2-RELEASE/floppies/ My question is, how can you customize the kernel on installation to handle hardware - specifically because while you can modify the IRQ and Port, you cannot (from what I can tell) modify the device (in this case it needs to be x10). What happens is when I go to install the system does not see the network card and I cannot load the software from ftp.freebsd.org Any help appreciated.
