I want to install the new FreeBSD release, so I have created the kern.flp
and mfsroot.flp floppies. But when I boot them and start the installation
FreeBSD is unable to install my netcard.
I have a D-Link DFE-530TX adapter.
When the FreeBSD installation boots it only shows (copied by hand):
pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 20.0 (no driver attached)
When I press alt-f2 it says:
DEBUG: Loading module if_vr.ko [...]
vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> \
port 0xdc00-0xdc7f mem 0xdfffff80-0xdfffffff \
irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0
vr0: couldn't map interrupt
device_probe_and_attach: vr0 attach returned 6
I have a FreeBSD 4.6 cd which I have previously used to install from. When I
boot with this cd it installs my netcard without problems. It shows
vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> \
port 0xdc00-0xdc7f mem 0xdfffff80-0xdfffffff \
irq 11 at device 20.0 on pci0
vr0: Ethernet address: 00:50:ba:09:3d:e0
and the netcard works in the installation.
I also tried to press alt-f2, and as far as I can see there is nowhere
module if_vr.ko is loaded (is this driver part of the loaded kernel?).
It seems to me that I can install FreeBSD 5.0-Release by booting with my 4.6
cd and then using a "fixit" floppy on which I have put the correct
sysinstall. Is this possible, and if it is, from where can I then get the
program sysinstall?
