My PC here at work has a 3C509 ethernet board in it. Is there anything I
can do to get it to work under 386bsd or must I get one of the four
cards specified in INSTALL.NOTES?

Also, when I say 'shutdown -todos', it says that it cannot switch to the
DOS partition. I have to boot DOS from floppy, fdisk to set the active
partition, then reboot again. Is this because I haven't fully installed
the system yet (I have only done 'install' from the dist floppy. I
haven't done 'extract')?
