Is it wrong? What are the possible implications? Petr

When exactly is right after booting? After the countdown ends after the splash screen with the dragonfly. Before that everything is black and white and looks good. Then things get ugly (unless you like lime green!). -- Eric [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Disregard, just read the man page. Figured it out.

Eric, could you do a verbose boot and put up your /var/run/dmesg.boot somewhere? Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx

Is there a way to set vidcontrol during start-up? I played with it using VMWare but after rebooting it goes back to the old video mode. If the same happens with a regular hard drive install I don't think it will solve the issue. Maybe /etc/rc.d/syscons will help. And see the rc.conf(5) manual page that documents the options used in that startup script. Jeremy C. Reed

Re: 2 NIC's on the same subnet.
: : Is it wrong? What are the possible implications? : :Petr As Joerg said, it can be done. But there usually is no reason to actually want to do that. You can just use IP aliases with ifconfig to give a single interface multiple IP addresses within the same subnet (or on different subnets... doesn't matter). -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We might need some advice in regards to making it all going. The thread is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1710910group_id=12694atid=112694
