I quess my first question is has anyone ever heard of a data brick and have you been successful at installing FreeBSD on it? I'm able to boot off the installation disk, go into visual mode and make modifications to the devices (wdc0, fdc0,sio0), save the changes and then it starts probing for ISA devices and nothing happens. It just hangs and I have to turn it off. It is an AST with a 486DX processor and a ISA/AT/classic bus. Currently it does not have an ethernet card. (I have to order it) The card will be a 3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III. Could this be part of my problem? Does Freebsd require a card to be present? I realize I need it to get to the net, but I would think I'd get past the probing point.
