Hi folks,

I'm trying to install 386BSD-0.1 on a random piece of 386 hardware.
I have one of those WD8003E ethercard plus plugged into it. After
fiddling with the jumpers a bit, I finally got the card to send
packets on the wire.

First strange thing is that the card is supposed to be on level 2 IRQ,
but 386BSD insists on finding it on level 9...

The official release gives the 65535 error thing when I try to
ifconfig the card, so I tried both unofficial releases (dist.fs-noIS
on most sites and dist.fs-WD800 on src.doc.ic.ac.uk). In both cases,
ftp works fine to connect to a local host and list some directories
using the cd and dir commands.

However, when I try the get command, the file seems to be
transfered, the line "226 Binary Transfer complete." appears on
the screen and then everything freezes. Cntrl-C doesn't help either.

Anybody knows a trick to help me in this case? Darn, I'm almost there...

Cheers!
