Re: landisk (Plextor) installation stuff

["Joel CARNAT" <joel%carnat.net@localhost>]

Hello,

http://www.tumfatig.net/docs/00_tut/hardware/BSD%20-%20landisk.php

It used to work with 4.0_BETA2.

As the network rate really sXXXX, I wiped out the 4.0 install and tried a 
4.99.x ; but I can't have it booting anymore... And my serial cable is
dead so I don't know what has changed.

Regards,
     Jo
