Hello Walnut Creek, I finally finished installing FreeBSD 2.2.6 on my pc clone after resolving some interrupt problems. It appears to be running like a champ! Now, I want to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 on my Toshiba 4400SXC using a Laplink cable since my Xircom PEII is not supported. I've used /stand/sysinstall to configure the lp0, sl0, and pp0 interfaces on my new pc clone host. After checking the FAQ and Handbook, I bought and connected a High Speed Parallel Transfer cable (Laplink) between the pc clone and Toshiba. I booted up the Toshiba on a FreeBSD 2.2.6 boot disk, and the boot disk recognized the lp0, sl0, and pp0 interfaces. However, whenever I attempted to use a Custom Install, it fails to ifconfig lp0 or sl0 interfaces. I am able to ifconfig a pp0 interface, but I can't start the install after I establish a PPP connect in the VTY3 screen. The pc clone reports LCP problems and the install times out. I just need to dial on the VTY3 screen to send the PPP into packet mode since the two computers are hardwired with a Laplink cable. I know notebooks are harder to setup but any ideas would be appreciated.
