Unlike the drivers on mfsroot.flp, those on drivers.flp need to be manually loaded from within sysinstall(8), using the Configure->Load KLD menu item. This is mostly applicable to floppy installs. CDROM installs use a standard GENERIC kernel. The installation chapter of the Handbook doesn't document this. >How-To-Repeat: A good example of this is a floppy boot to sysinstall, followed by an attempted network installation over an em(4) interface. >Fix: Turn the above notes into real English, mark them up (screenshots as necessary), and drop them into the right place in the installation chapter of the Handbook. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: danger State-Changed-When: Wed Aug 30 13:10:33 UTC 2006 State-Changed-Why: Close this PR as we don't ship drivers.flp any more for the latest releases from 4.x, 5.x or 6.x. drivers.flp has been removed when the FreeBSD bootstrapper was made to support booting from multiple floppies Pointed out by: Niclas Zeising http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=44594 Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-doc->danger Responsible-Changed-By: danger Responsible-Changed-When: Wed Aug 30 13:16:33 UTC 2006 Responsible-Changed-Why: Make me responsible. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=44594 >Unformatted:
