There is a 'Load KLD' menu where you can load drivers of a separate floppy disk. Of course that only works if the driver you need is a module but I would be pretty suprised if a new device driver didn't do that. If you want someone to send you a prebuilt .ko because you can't build it yourself I would be more than happy to do so. And as a counter point.. I have systems (which are _not_ old) that have SCSI CDR's and SCSI cards with no BIOS in them so they can't boot off CD yet I managed to install FreeBSD on them very successfully. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5Received on Sun May 04 2003 - 09:08:37 UTC
