Heh - I too have had servers that had the nice little catch-22 of
you couldn't read a CD in them so you had to do an FTP install -
but the current freebsd release didn't have a working ethernet
driver for the embedded nic on the server, so while you could
boot the server with a floppy, you couldn't install freebsd on it.

yes, but guess what - FBSD 6.2 is now released, so just install that and
the updated driver is already in the kernel

I don't know what broadcom chip your MB has but the majority of
oncards
src/sys/dev/bge/are supported here:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/
You should be able to just copy over the 2 files to your
directory and
recompile your 6.1-release kernel with no problems. I did.
Look carefully at the chip on your MB and post the BCM model number
init
if this doesen't work.

Which driver is that? My 6.1 install won't see them at all:
pci4: <PCI bus> on pcib4
pci4: <network, ethernet> at device 4.0 (no driver attached)
pci4: <network, ethernet> at device 4.1 (no driver attached)
Also, I'm running 6.1-RELEASE, will the cvs drivers from CURRENT
