Find someone with a wireless or > ethernet card. <etc> I finally figureed out that the removable floppy (which works both as an external usb and internall) is treated as a scsi device, not /dev/fd0. So I tried moving the drivers from the up to date machine. No dice; they depend on another changed function. So I borrowed a usb zip drive, and found that a bzip2'd source tree is only 83M. I've moved that, and have a new kernel compiling from a source tree updated this morning. Am I going to have to do anything else to get the bge device detected, or will it just kernel installation and reboot take care of this? thanks hawk _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
