Rosenblatt) writes: OK--I mounted the floppy and copied my new kernel and rebooted. The thing still sees my card as being on lpt1 for some reason. Editing the boot setup with /kernel -c doesn't seem to help at all. Also, even when I get that rolling, the install script still doesn;t look there so I'll need to futz with that so that it'll look in the right place for my network card. Any ideas? Will 3c509 support be built into the install setup of any upcoming releases of FreeBSD? I'm sorry, I really should have jumped in here earlier! :-( Bad News: 3C509 support was *broken* in 2.0 ALPHA. Your symptoms are not at all surprising! Good News: It's fixed in 2.0 BETA, which will be released tomorrow evening. Jordan
