Bug 19899

Summary: ISA NE2000 compatible ethernet device is not available for ftp install.

Description msat6526 2000-07-13 22:40:00 UTC 
When I try to install FreeBSD on computer with Linux, I can not find
ethernet (ed0 10 0x280) option for FTP transfer. There are PLIP, SLIP,
... choices available only. Thus, I can not install FreeBSD at all. My
NIC (ISA NE2000 compatible card) works well under Linux.

Fix: 

Probably an error in a configuration script. In the start of the install
process (in the kernel option screen), the NIC (device ed0, IRQ 10,
port 0x280) is detected.
How-To-Repeat: To try to do FTP install on computer without modem.

When you say "in the kernel option screen", do you mean in the visual
configuration screen where you can select which drivers to probe?  If
so, that doesn't mean too much.  What ethernet NIC do you actually have?
Can you provide the exact chip make and version number?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

OK, the problem was between my chair and keyboard. NIC is on port 0x300,
so when it is changed in the CLI screen, it is OK then. Mea culpa, mea
(maxima) culpa. I'm sorry again.
