man em for Intel Gigabit adapters:
The em driver provides support for PCI gigabit Ethernet adapters based on
the Intel 82540, 82542, 82543, 82544 and 82546 Ethernet controller chips.
I believe there is Serial ATA support for some chipsets in 5.1. No idea on
the Fasttrack 378.
Problems are likely to occur when your kernel doesn't match your userland.
I'm guessing your initial install was 4.5, and you updated directly to 4.8?
I would recommend that you try to boot with a 4.8 GENERIC kernel, off a 4.8
CD or floppy. Then try mounting your partitions manually from single user
mode, and editing /etc/fstab to match your drive configuration.

Subject: changing setup
I have just changed my motherboard and consequently drive assignments and
peripherals as well. The old board or processor crashed. :((
So the new board is an MSI 875-FISR - top of the line with a 3ghz pentium
IV and Intel Gigabit lan card and kGEforce FX5200 video card.
The previous system was a dual pentium II with 450mhz processors.
The problem is the following: how do I boot and reconfigure the system?
What is installed is FBSD 4.8 stable.
When I boot up using the kernel.GENERIC, I get version 4.5 with limited
functions... so, I don't really know what todo with it.
Whe I boot up with the 4.8 SMP kernel, kit freezes just after the network
card is not recognized.
I am hoping I don't have to reinstall everything as that tends to be a
PITA.
Also, I don't know if FBSD supports the built-in Intel Gigabit network
adapter; the hardware.txt does not show it.
And what about serial ATA and Promise Fasttrack 378?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance,
Pippo
