Still welcoming tips/suggestions to help with my attempted installation of 3.2-RELEASE on a laptop using a 3C589C. I am presently making floppy disk images of the bin distribution... argh ;) Original message explaining my problem is below. Any ideas would be *greatly* appreciated.

I have searched the mailing list archives for clues and have come up with nothing. I *think* I am following the tips that I was able to find. My hardware is an HP Omnibook 5000CTS Pentium 120 and (obviously) a 3Com 3C589C. I've booted it to DOS and used the 3Com utility to manually set the IRQ to 10 and the IO address to 300, also noting the Mem IO address (which in my case is DE00h). I then booted the 3.2-RELEASE installation disks and modified the zp0 driver from mem IO from 0xd8000 to 0xde00, left IRQ and IO address alone and deactivated all other NIC drivers (also deactivated all other unnecessary drivers for my hardware config). Once I get to the main installation screen, I alt-F2 over (with my fingers crossed) and the only network device found is lp0. The only other useful information I have is that I've tried two different 3c589C's and booted with both to Windoze and the network on the same machine. My question is what am I missing? Please help me replace Win95 with FreeBSD!! :) Thanks for any insight Troy Compton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
