Good Day,

I have a bit of a problem.  The boot floppy that contains the kernel
for FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE does not seem to contain the NIC driver that
I require for my NIC so I can do an FTP install.

The question is as follows.  Is there a way I can recompile the base
kernel with support for my NIC, boot from that, and then do a clean
install via FTP?  Or is it a little more complicated?  Impossible?

Thanks for your help,
John Wilson
