I'm a FreeBSD newbie who have attempted the installation of 4.5 a year ago when I received problems with my NetGear FA311 (National Semiconductor). I was told then that installing from floppies does not offer me the same set of drivers and thus I should use a CD instead. I got a CD writer this year and as par instructions burned the mini iso of 4.7, and still received the same issue. According to the hardware list, my NatSemi uses the sis driver, which is detected at boot time, during which I received: -snip- sis0: <NatSemi DP83815 10/100BaseTX> at device 13.0 on pci1 sis0: couldn't map ports/memory device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6 pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x11c1, dev=0x004e) //not sure if it's part of the error message so putting it on anyway -snip- And according to Diagnostics in the documentation "sis%d: couldn't map ports/memory [indicates] a fatal initialization error has occurred.", I think it's my error in configuring. Could anyone out there give me a hand? Thank you, James -Additional information if needed: is running i686 (Intel celeron), PCI bridge is Intel82801AA, vendor Hewlett-Packard (HP-Pavilion), other existing OS: Windows ME *shudder* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
