Does this confirm that you cannot boot 4.1R installation floppies on a laptop and do a network installation using a 3Com 3C589D? I have not been able to do this at all with 4.x, but had no problems with 3.x. Under 4.x, there is no ethernet device detected (no zp or whatever it is called now). Any suggestions, other than installing from CD or PLIP? --Morgan > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Kevin Oberman > Sent: Sunday, September 03, 2000 12:36 PM > To: kmays > Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: FreeBSD v4.1R on laptops > > > Ken, > > I run 4.1-Stable on my 600E with no problems.
