An Intel PRO/1000 with the em driver works flawlessly. I welcome myself to FreeBSD/IA64. For the record, regarding the fxp driver, using tcpdump I observed that right after ifconfig'ing the interface, packets were sent and received for a couple of seconds. Then, packets sent by the Itanium box were seen by others, but not viceversa. Now, how am I supposed to boot this beast? I pressume I should move /boot to the EFI partition, and mount the EFI partition at /boot. But there are two problems with this: (1) /dev/ad0p1, the EFI partition I saw during installation, is not there anymore, and (2) I have to manually specify the root filesystem (as ufs:da0s1a) during boot. -- ++*Juan-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
