Hi All,

I've got here a 486/66 with 16 Mb RAM, 1542CF SCSI and a Toshiba gig,
on this machine we want to install FreeBSD.    

The network card is a new SMC Elite Ultra (Combo), when it is configured
on the IRQ 5 / IO 280 / RAM D8000 settings with the EZSTART software
everything works fine when using IPX/NETX but during the boot sequence
of FreeBSD it says:

    ed0: kernel configured irq 5 doesn't match board configured irq 11

The card is configured on IRQ 5 but for some reason FreeBSD doesn't
want to know :-(

Does someone have seen this problem before? How did you get around it?

Any clues are welcome on:

	paulj@hacktic.nl

Thanks a zillion
Paul.
