Hi,
You should backup your data first thats my best advice, the data
shouldnt be afected by the upgrade, but if something goes wrong, you still
have a backup of your data, this pages can help you with this:
http://home.san.rr.com/freebsd/upgrade.html
http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html
If your floppy its msdos formated, you should try this: mount -t msdos
/dev/fd0 /mnt
BTW Keep a copy to the List

Subject: RE: NIC card problem
HI ALes,
Thanks for the info. Just wondering if I upgrade FreeBSD 2.2.5 to 2.2.8 or
later, will the data unaffected ?
I find the code program at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/3Com/2.2/if_xl.c
and I copied it in floppy (in html format).
I thought, I can save it in FreeBSD machine as 'xl.c'
But another problem I am facing is , when I tried
'mount /dev/fd0 /mnt ' it gives error
/dev/fd0 /mnt : incorrect super block
Any Idea ?
Thanks,
SAnjeev

Hi,
I think this card its supported in 2.2.8, I suggest to upgrade your
system, or maybe you can make the driver work with your system it uses the
xl driver, and you can find the sources in http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/
