I am switching over from Linux. I have the Install notes and the 386BSD faq, but I am still unsure on how to do the installation. I can get all the way up to unpacking all the sets and sources, running Configure, copying the kernel. During the install process I was able to get my ethernet card (3C509) to work, but once the installation is done and I try to boot directly from the hard drive, it doesn't work. I used the command: ifconfig ep0 myip.address netmask 255.255.0.0 link0 link1 to get it to work in the install process, and I put those same options in on the configure process. That is the only hardware problem I seem to have, but I am not sure how to get other things such as nameservers and other things working. I would be very grateful if someone had a walkthrough that they could send me or is willing to help me out. Please email me directly so we don't clutter up this group. Thanks. --------------- Stephen Franks sdfranks@mit.edu
