Ah well if it manages to start the kernel it's no longer an Etherboot issue. Etherboot has done its job and handed execution to the kernel. At this point you need to review what FreeBSD wants to be able to run. >I'm using a 3c905 card to elicit this much out of the setup.

That's a pity. I was hoping the 90x driver would support the C revision NIC as well, but nobody has tested it till now. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
