 Hi,
 
 I did not find an answer in the docs or mailinglistarchive...
 
 I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.0 RC3 an my Digital Alpha 1000 (AS1000).
 
 I can boot to the textmenu, but the hds can't be seen (RAID-Controller
 Mylex DAC960).
 
 The drivers.flp can't be used in this menu. I tried to load the
 kernelmodules before the textmenu pops up with the 'load' command.
 I can see the drivers e.g. mlx.ko, mlx.dsc on the disk with ls, but
 'load' tells me 'can't find xxx'.
 
 How does it work ?
 
 There is no menuentry in the textmenu where I can load drivers, at least
 I did not find it

Hi Daniel,

I'm doing this from memory, so I might not be 100% right...

There is a menu option to load a KLD in the 5.0 sysinstall -- I think right
at the end of the 'Configure' menu.  You have to scroll down to see it, but
it is there.

If you want to load them in the loader (before actually booting the kernel)
you have to give the full path, eg.

load /if_wi.ko

I guess either method will work.

HTH,

Scott

Hi Scott,

thanks for your fast suggestions. The second one helped, 
as the  'Load KLD' tells me that he can't find my floppy (strange as I
booted from it..)
He says: 'No floppy devices found! Please check...' and 'Unable to set
media device to floppy'. :-(

The webinst over http-proxy seems to work now (still running) unlike the
4.6.2.

Regards,
Daniel
