After finding that there seem to be problems with NE1000/NE2000 cards
I took my WD8003 ,jumpered it to irq 2 io 280 and booted the system to get
ftp finally working in order to download the rest of the binaries, etc and src
disribution.
The card was recognized but ftp did not work. Then I downloaded
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:386BSD/386bsd-0.1/unoffical/dist.fs-WE800
and ftp worked!. Great. I was getting 80 KB/sec over a 486 SCO based router
to a DecStation 3100.
One experience aside: During experimenting with various io addresses and irq vectors I found that the autoconfiguration code in TinyBSD seems to find the io address correctly but it cannot detect on which irq the card is running.
I jumpered the card to irq 5 and the autoconfig still was showing irq 9 (mapped
from 2 -> 9).
Now I'm belonging owner of the BIF belt (can Bootstrap, Install on hard disk
and FTP the rest of the system).
Next higher rank is BIFN: BIF + 'can use NFS' :)
