Why would it not show up in UserConfig along with the drivers for other network hardware (which I *don't* have)? According to http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html I should expect driver conflicts when I enter UserConfig because "all the drivers are enabled, and as has already been explained, some of them will conflict with one another". Indeed all the network devices I don't have are enabled and conflict with each other (and the PCMCIA slot controller, I think it is pcic0). > Are you getting asked about whether you want to use PCCARD devices > for installation media right after the kernel boots? Yes. > How are you configuring things there? It thinks for a moment or two and then starts asking me various configuration questions--disk partitioning, how to divvy up the FreeBSD partition, what I want to install--it does not give me a chance to enter IP addresses, gateway, etc. What would be the best diagnostic information I could provide (hopefully without typing in the entire boot sequence output)? How could I make sure the installation kernel contains the ep driver? Dave Eckhardt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
