I'm having an issue as I'm a newbie in installing/configuring the marvell driver for FreeBSD. A quick search in the mailing lists shows: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2601224+2604070 +/usr/local/www/db/text/2006/freebsd-questions/20060402.freebsd-questions but I have no clue how I can bypass the second step, which is installing the if_myk.ko to /boot/kernel I have tried to cp if_yk.ko /boot/kernel/ but that didn't bring anything new in ifconfing! Can someone shed some light here please?

Hello, Have a look at /boot/defaults/loader.conf for your desired driver. Then copy it to your /boot/loader.conf file (the desired line). Also have a look at the command: man loader.conf Quoting Yousef Raffah <yraffah@savola.com>:> I'm having an issue as I'm a newbie in installing/configuring the > marvell driver for FreeBSD. > > A quick search in the mailing lists shows: > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=2601224+2604070 > +/usr/local/www/db/text/2006/freebsd-questions/20060402.freebsd-questions > > but I have no clue how I can bypass the second step, which is installing > the if_myk.ko to /boot/kernel > > I have tried to cp if_yk.ko /boot/kernel/bad idea.> > but that didn't bring anything new in ifconfing! > > Can someone shed some light here please?--Chris H.> > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >-- Linux: An OS for users who think their using UNIX. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p12 (SMP - 900x2) Tue Mar 7 19:37:23 PST 2006 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
