If you installed from CD, and therefore have a working system, please post the output of: $dmesg If you're able, pipe it to a .txt file and attach it, otherwise copy/paste to your email program. $dmesg > attach.txt That might show us if there is a problem at device probe time. It would be worth your time to look at /etc/rc.conf, because it might be easy to spot if sysinstall actually wrote the file using "ed0" instead of "dc0". If so, changing it would be a hurdle on our way to fixing the issue. You could also send us output from "ifconfig -a", but it sounds as if that's already been decided, and dc0 isn't in there.....
