Hello Folks,



I'm having a problem with the FreeBSD 2.0.5 Installation.
I'm trying to INSTALL it on a PENTIUM (OptiPlex XL 5100) which have
1Gb IDE, 32Mb RAM, Soundblaster Card, 17" Color Monitor, Sony SCSI CD-ROM

I partitioned my disk as follow:

a) 656Mb for Windows NT
b) 384Mb for FreeBSD

I FTP the boot.flp disk from the NET and with rawrite put it on a 1.44Mb floppy.
I make it boot from Floppy and answer without any problem.  But when come
the time to "grab" the FreeBSD from the Net by FTP, it somehow doesn't recognize
my Ethernet Card which is: 3Com (3C509B) Etherlink III

Would someone help me with this?


Please reply to:  vuong@worldbank.org

thanks,

-Dan.
