I am a new user installing OpenBSD on an older (read ancient) laptop.
I do not have a CD, so I was going to a network install. The problem
is that my network cards are PCMCIA and all of the 3.9 i386 boot
floppies (floppy39.fs, floppyB39.fs, floppyC39.fs) ignore my cardbus.
Searching mailing lists, etc, makes me believe that the TI-PCI1130
is supported, but I am not sure.
I get a message about not being able to fix up PCI interrupt routing.
I am not sure what this means. When the error occured on mailing
list archives the response was: you can ignore this if everything
else works. (not much help here)
This interface worked with Slackware linux 20 minutes prior to the
attempted OpenBSD install, so the hardware isn't broke.
The two pcmcia cards that I want to use are explictly listed on the
website as supported, but it doesn't seem to get that far.
I can begin installing the operating system by setting up my disks,
but it won't let me configure my network devices, because it didn't
find any.
Do these floppy images just not have the right drivers enabled? Do
I need to install from the bootable CD? Or will that not work
either, because my hardware is unsupported?
Let me know if you have any ideas for me to try or need any more
information. The shell works fine and I can execute commands, just no
netowrk (can transfer data via ext2 floppy). I should note that this
particular laptop cannot have the floppy drive and cd drive in at the same
time: they use the same atapi slot.
dmesg (from disk B, they were all about the same):
