Does the system print any information or does it lock up at the very beginning? If it does, you should post that message here. Btw.: Do the cards play together nicely on a different OS? Is it possible that they all use the same resources like irqs, io ranges etc? In most BIOSes you can assign fixed irqs to the various PCI slots, so you could work around that problem.

Hello My name is Giannis Vlachos and i live in greece.Iam using freebsd 5.1 and i have already install a double pci serial card (Netmos 9835cv) who is working fine. I want to put another one or two pci serial cards from the same kind but when i do that the sytem dont come up and it is freezes at the beggining. I want to make the pc that iam working on it a dialup server and i want to connect on it 8 modems (I know that there existing sollution with serial cards with 8 and 16 ports but the pcice of these cars is to high and i have already the Netmos 9835 serial cards).

You need to either set your Email client to break lines at about 72 characters or manually do it as you type by hitting ENTER(RETURN) at about that width for each line (remember typewriters - probably not I suppose). The long single lines make it hard for people using text based Email clients to read and especially to respond to your messages. There are two ISO-s that you could start with. I always use the mini-ISO because I have a good (fast) internet connection and so doing everything right from the net is easy. The mini-ISO has just the boot and installation programs. It starts up, takes your input for disk slicing and for kernel configuration (device driver selection), how much of the ports tree you want (choose everything) and where to read the rest of the installation. You then choose one of the ftp sites depending on your location and which seems to work easiest and it downloads everything for the rest of the installation from there. But, if you have a slow net connection, then it might work better to install from the CDs. For that you can start with CD #1 from the rest of the set. Then when it asks, choose installation from CD instead of from an ftp site. I would then suggest buying the latest set of CDs available from one of the places such as BSDmall that burns sets and distributes them for a small cost. Also, some people seem to feel more confident if they have the full CD set to install from and can have it setting on the shelf. Although I have never had occasion to go back to an installation CD but rather have gone to the next release any time I needed to reinstall (like a for nuked HD). Also, there is generally some lag time getting the CD packages out after a new release so it is sooner to install over the net. And it is good that you intend to read up on stuff before you start building stuff.Lots of people don't and then have bad experiences that are unnecessary. Also, don't let those with big axes to grind convince you to install a lot of ports you don't really need. Start with a basic system plus one of the simpler X managers like afterstep and use that for a while before deciding to move on or add more. You may never want all the rest of that overbuilt stuff. jerry > > Sincerely, > Vince > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It looks like you had better start with the documentation or you will be lost. It is all clearly detailed in the handbook and actually in several other places online. In general you only need to download the mini-ISO image and burn it directly to a CD. The rest can all be done from that, although if you have a slow net connection it can take a few hours. Since I have a good connection, it generall takes about an hour to do a whole installation including installing the entire ports tree or sometimes called the ports skeleton (but of course, not all of the ports source - the source is only downloaded when you actually install a particular port). Good luck and read, search and study a while before you do anything with actual files, CDs or disks. jerry > > Respectfully, > > Vincent M.
