Message-ID: <1994Aug30.124104.27028@news.uit.no> Date: Tue, 30 Aug 1994 12:41:04 GMT Reply-To: larss@cc.uit.no Organization: University of Tromsoe, Norway Lines: 22 I was told that FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 should support 2.88MB disk drives and PCMCIA ethernet cards, but I can not find any documentation on this, and the FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 boot-disk will not boot. I have an IBM Thinkpad 750C (which comes default with a 2.88MB disk drive, it can not use 1.44MB drives as far as I know) and an IBM Ethernet Card Adapter II (PCMCIA). I've run NetBSD 0.9 successfully on this machine, but then I just had a borrowed IBM Ethernet Card Adapter (note: no II). Now I've got my own IBM Ethernet Card Adapter II, but this card does not work with NetBSD 0.9. Can somebody point me to information on how to install FreeBSD on my configuration, or how to get the correct ethernet driver for NetBSD 0.9? -- | Lars Slettjord | EMAIL: larss@cc.uit.no | University Computer Centre | PHONE: 47+76+44115 | University of Tromsoe, N-9037 Tromsoe | FAX : 47+76+44100
