The farthest point I could be able to reach while installing 2.2-960501-SNAP was where extracting bin/bin.aa. As for the ethernet board, I am using 3C509(not 509B) eval. boards on either side of NFS sold by 3COM at two for $99 about a year ago or so. By the way, when I chose: /dist/FreeBSD/2.1.0-RELEASE *.my.domain (ro,insecure) under /etc/exports@Linux, NFS installation went perfectly without changing any default setting at the (FreeBSD) client side. -- Joonwoo Nam MAGNUMS(MAssachusetts Group for NUMerical analysis of Semiconductors) Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UMASS at Amherst e-mail:nam@nazgul.ecs.umass.edu / work:413-545-4762 / fax:413-545-4611 http://khushi.ecs.umass.edu/~nam
