Netra X1 - Status query and stupid question

[Pete Bentley]

Hi,

Just wondering what the status is with regard to drivers for
the X1's onboard Davicom ethernet?  Trawling through the list
archive, the most recent relevant post seems to be:-

I'd be willing to help out with this assuming I can get a suitable
dev box going (most of my machines are FreeBSD 4.x/i386) - would
have to be in my "copious" spare time though.

Which leads on to the stupid question... I was trying to install
fbsd 5.1 onto the X1 from CD... Which works fine up to a point,
ie I can create the filesystems, but then the way the sparc64 CDs
are laid out bites me... The distribution sets are on a different
CD to the boot image and there doesn't appear to be a way to
swap CDs mid-install.

So, am I missing something obvious? Or is the CD thing a no-go
and I'll have to install via SLIP or some such?

Pete.
