I have some questions concerning FreeBSD installation 1. When I try to install it over SLIP, it says: cannot configure slip interface (or something similar) 2. Installing over PPP works, but it always tries to use /dev/cuaa0 and doesn't care whether I've chosen com1 or com2. As usually mouse is in com1 I have to manually set device /dev/cuaa1. Why? I use leased line connection with baseband modems to cisco 2511 where I have dedicated ppp (or slip). 3. I need to put 3 ethernet cards in FreeBSD box. Can I use 3 NE2000 cards? By default there are only ed0 and ed1. Does FreeBSD accepts ed2? With best regards, Mart mart@estnet.ee
