Im trying to move from FreeBSD 4.10 to 5.3.
When I used to install 3.x/4.x on this box, I would configure
the network card during the install process.
According to the manual, the device config part of the install,
was taken out, but the network card doesnt get identified by FreeBSD 5.3.
I tried selecting #6 during the install boot menu,
and entered ->
boot -c
in the hopes to get the device config screen, but I didn't get that.
Is it possible to get that pre FBSD 5.x device config screen,
or is there some way to configure that network card during the install process??
I believe you can set a hint variable from the loader prompt. The defaults are:
hint.ed.0.at="isa" hint.ed.0.disabled="1" hint.ed.0.port="0x280" hint.ed.0.irq="10" hint.ed.0.maddr="0xd8000"

Thanks
Ok. I didnt get any further. Not sure if Im doing the correct thing.
1. I chose #6 from the boot menu
2. I entered "show" to see all the hints
3. I entered `set hint.ed.0.port="0x300"` (without the ``; see below for why I did this)
4. I entered "show" again to verify the change
5. I entered "boot"
The dmesg goes by, and I didn't see ed0 load up. I scrolled back, and its
definately not in the list.
I tried continuing the install, and I dont have a choice to use ed0 in the network setup,
to pull sources off the internet to install FBSD.
So Im not sure what is going on...
For the reason why I only modified ed0's hint port is because its the only setting
different from what Im currently using (settings wise) under 4.10 (and all the
versions since 3.4 if I remember correctly).
