I'm in the process (once again) of attempting to install FreeBSD on my
office PC. It now sees my network card (3Com 3c509) finally--yeah!
However, when I attempt to do the FTP installation it dies claiming that
it can't find the checksum script (I downloaded the install floppies I'm
using maybe an hour ago). I dropped to a shell to try and ftp everything
manually. I checked the network setup and everything looked dandy, but
it can't seem to find the network. Can't resolve domain names or IP
addresses. ifconfig -a gives me an error:
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGFFLAGS): no such interface
While the main reason I want to run a BSD system is to learn from irt,
since this is my work machine it has to have a working net connection
from the start or else I can;t use it at all and will have to switch back
to Linux again (Linux-users--don't comment please). Anyone know what the
problem is?
