I'm new to bsd, so sorry if my question seems dumb. and yes, i tried googling and rtfm, but just cant work it out...
i try to install from bootonly cd over ftp, but damn freebsd 7.1 doesnt want to give me the option to use ethernet connection! why is that so? i use realtek 8139a chipset card and when the install is loading and the text is passing by quickly, i manage to catch something like 'rl0 [something something ethernet something something]', so i figure it finds my netcard.
any suggestions what i should look into?
