Re: [Screen remains black at install] No Network...
Hello,
I changed my display and then I got a picture... but the only network interface is L0 and IP: 127.0.0.1... could it be that the onboard Gygabit is not recognised?
motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-MLX
8Gb RAM DDR3
2x 1Tb seagate barracuda

Re: Screen remains black at install
The Realtek 8111 is supported by FreeBSD, is it enabled in the BIOS?

Re: Screen remains black at install
Yes, there must be something like that, because I see that other members are using this motherboard...

Re: [Screen remains black at install] No Network
On board LAN controller is well enabled in the BIOS. Waiting for delivery of a LOGILINK PC0029a. We'll see if it improves...

Re: [Screen remains black at install] No Network
Intel nics are the recommended ones.. Like intel pro/1000 pci-e
That logilink is realtek based

SOLVED Re: [Screen remains black at install] No Network
I installed the LOGILINK PC0029a, restarted the system, and it works "plug and play" !
