Description Dr. Lyman Hazelton 2007-05-09 00:40:03 UTC 
When attempting to install 6.2-Release on a "Gigabyte" "S-series"
motherboard with an AMD64 Athlon, 1GB of RAM and an Adaptek Ultra Fast
Ultra Wide SCSI controller, sysinstall fails to detect the on-board,
builtin LAN controller.  When sysinstall gets to the point of asking
about network connection possibilities, in only offers SLIP and PPP
opportunities.  The motherboard is labeled "M61VME-S32(rev.2.0)".  Any
assistance greatly appreciated!

How-To-Repeat: Attempt to install again.
