One more shot-in-the-dark: In the BIOS near "PnP OS: Yes/No" (Choose No, as others said) you'll see the line something like "Reset configuration (data)" Make it Yes, and exit from BIOS with "Save", then BIOS will be forced to reassign PnP/PCI resources for your hardware. This helped me a number of times. Oh, and when you boot off CD first time, you can select "Visual config". Delete here _everyting_ you are sure you don't need (or have).

I thought you wrote it was an ISA card, but that was Kevin, making an observation: "OK, he's got a Kingston (generally dc driver) and is trying to do sysinstall and d-load over NIC. IME it doesn't matter what you pick in the "configuration" section of sysinstall whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA NIC drivers." I inferred that the NIC was ISA, where Kevin wrote that the driver is ISA. You might have to, yes.

Nobody has suggested a few simple things yet. Such as is the card properly seated in it's slot, have you tried another PCI slot in the computer. Check the PCI settings in your BIOS for any reserved slots, turn off plug and play. Or maybe the card is kapot ?

Re: Ethernet card problem
OK, he's got a Kingston (generally dc driver) and is trying to do sysinstall and d-load over NIC. IME it doesn't matter what you pick in the "configuration" section of sysinstall --- whatever's first should work, because those are just old nonPNP ISA NIC drivers. After doing "kernel configuration in full-screen visual/CLI/skip" then sysinstall does an initial device probe, and when you get to "configure interface," it should be there. For the record, device miibus is enabled in -GENERIC kernel. If his NIC is *not* there when it's time to configure and start the d-load, it's a hardware/BIOS issue, or somebody's broke sysinstall(8).or is there another option I'm missing?

Um, he can't "enable" miibus in the kernel from sysinstall(8), can he? I don't know that miibus is in the distribution kernel or not, if /modules/miibus.ko is likewise available, nor if you can activate modules from sysinstall(8). I don't recall any difficulties with sysinstall(8) when I brought up this box with Linksys NICs (Realtek chipsets, which also use dc(1)). Otherwise, you point out that which I'd forgotten.

Re: Ethernet card problem
dc driver uses the miibus code, make sure you have that enabled on your kernel. There is nothing needed in "sysinstall", a device probe ought to catch it IF the miibus is enabled in your kernel config.

RE: Ethernet card problem
Thanks very much for the quick reply. I would agree with that. The model is a Kingston KNE100TX and it says that the driver is a dc(4). Which Ethernet selection and I supposed to pick for that on Sysinstall? Is there a way to reconfigure it after installation. I apologize for the ignorance but I am very new to all this. I basically just went step-by-step through the FreeBSD manual on installation. There was no option that said dc(4). Thanks again, Thomas P.
