Prasad >Release: 4.6 >Organization: >Environment: FreeBSD 4.6 >Description: The following are the problems that I experienced:- 1. CLI based configuration does not [have option to] save config changes 2. Visual configuration does not allow user to set irq of pcmcia card 3. disabling the pcmcia device in CLI/GUI based config does not skip the probe. 4. In order to get the boot from CDROM to continue after it failed to recognize pcmcia card, I had to set eisa to 1. a timeout in case of unrecognized hardware will help in installing a barebones OS. 5. the option not to install a boot-loader/touch the MBR does not leave it intact. it sets the FreeBSD partition as bootable, and the previous partition loses its bootable flag. >How-To-Repeat: get yourself a dell 2600 laptop and try it out. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
