Im trying to move from FreeBSD 4.10 to 5.3.
When I used to install 3.x/4.x on this box, I would configure
the network card during the install process.
According to the manual, the device config part of the install,
was taken out, but the network card doesnt get identified by
FreeBSD 5.3.
I tried selecting #6 during the install boot menu,
and entered ->
boot -c
in the hopes to get the device config screen, but I didn't get that.
Is it possible to get that pre FBSD 5.x device config screen,
or is there some way to configure that network card during the
install process??
I believe you can set a hint variable from the loader prompt. The
defaults are:
hint.ed.0.at="isa"
hint.ed.0.disabled="1"
While reading the manual at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/device-hints.html
it says ->
disabled: if set to 1 the device is disabled.
So that maybe my problem.
I'll give it a shot tomorrow, and report back...
Ok. setting
hint.ed.0.disabled="0"
hint.ed.0.port="0x300"
Solved my problem.
And as a side note, to make the change permanent, modify
/boot/device.hints for the ed0 driver (or I believe it can be
done via a custom kernel).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction...
