Suggestions, comments?
The floppy is one thing -- if it won't work at boot, then FreeBSD probably isn't related to its problems. The NIC may be a different issue; you could try booting from the install CD and see if it works from there. The mouse I'm even less sure about; it sounds like it could be an interrupt problem, but that's a sort of vague guess. Then again, I'm still running 4.x (5.x won't boot at all on my spare machine, thanks to the inclusion of AGP in the default kernels)... _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
