I am a newbie to FreeBSD though I have been using and maintaining Linux
systems for more than a year. I tried to installed FreeBSD 2.1 by following
the instructions that come with the CD-ROM. Everything seems fine except
that booting stops at the call to ifconfig. The system I used has an NE2000
and the IRQ is set to 5. I think this is the correct setting since I got
"ed1 device time out" if I set the IRQ to other values. It seems that
the board is sorta working because I can still access other machines on the
local network if I press ^C to stop the ifconfig and let the booting
continue. (I need to send a ^C to sendmail also, BTW)
Could any FreeBSD guru give me a clue?
Zillion thanx.
