Hi all!
After some personal troubles I'm back (with my bad english). :)
Recently I got one of eeePC with Windows installed. How you all know, it
haven't any CD or DVD drivers. OK. I got external USB DVD-ROM. But any
attempting to boot DFly failed. Kernel just don't want to see external
usb DVD. Loading from loader promt umass kernel module don't help. But
all usb ports visible for kernel. I think, kernel just don't want probe
umass devices before it try mount rootfs.
Hello!
I have troubles installing Dragonfly BSD from a "simulated" USB-CDROM
drive. I need to install the system on a remote machine which has a
remote management extension card from Peppercon named Eric. This card is
able to simulate an USB CDROM over network (samba) to the underlying OS,
and I hadn't any problems in installing NetBSD or FreeBSD before.
