Hello, I'm currently trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a machine that has a 3Com 3C905B NIC. During the boot (from floppy) it detects the NIC, but says that <No Driver was Installed (or used)>. It detects the PCI NIC on irq 12. In the FreeBSD (revision 2) manual that I purchased from Walnut Creek, it says that vx0 support the 3c9xx cards? But all the other documentation I've found says nothing about the 3c9xx cards. Is this NIC supported by FreeBSD at all? If not, when will it have support for it? Also, on install from the boot floppy, choosing -cv from the boot option. going into the userconfig and removing all the CONF entries and modifying to the correct hardware (with the exception of the NIC) so that nothing conflicts. Choose Q and then S to save. A: drive lights up for a bit, and then the harddrive. getting a white block in the upper left corner of the screen (rest of screen is black) and it never proceeds with the install. What is the problem here? Preciate the help. Thanks!
