hi all, I can't get the pxe/dhcp to work when it's 100Mbit Ethernet, it works fine when it's 10Mbit. Actually a newer Intel MB just succeeded, but 99% of the pxe enabled cards fail at 100Mbit. from sniffing the net the broadcast dhcp request does not make it. it does not help to set the sw

Hi there, I was wondering why VESA_800x600 refreshes to 80x25 and figured out, that size[0] = 80; /* columns */ size[1] = 25; /* rows */ for mode SW_VESA_800x600 (line 319 of src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol.c). A screen resolution of 800x600 would make size[0] = 100; /* columns */ size[1] = 37;
