I have put up the dmesg from my boot attemp:
http://people.freebsd.org/~xride/dmesg.g3bnw-20061025.txt
But i can't install sysinstall doesn't see ad0.
Should i move the disk to another fbsd and partition it on there?
All the onboard nic is not found.
Where can i still digging in the src tree? i'm trying to learn more.
