Re: drivers.flp - How to use ???
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.

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.

drivers.flp - How to use ???
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 (4.7. does not load, it stops after the first disk with 'kernel stack not valid halt' / 4.6.2 sees my hds but not my cdrom and the ftp-over-proxy install gets the lists, but finishs with io-error) Thanks and regards, Daniel To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
