FreeBSD on Jetway J7F4

Filed under: Obscure tech info — Tags: , , , — Pascal @ 4:25 am

FreeBSD will hang when initializing the RLT8110SC onboard NIC on the Jetway J7F4 series mini-ITX motherboard. The work-around is to enable the boot rom in the BIOS. The attempt to boot off the network will initialize the NIC allowing FreeBSD to use it. You do not actually have to boot off of the LAN, just the attempt is enough.
