I have 386BSD 0.1 installed on a Gateway 486/33, 170MB partion,
16MB RAM, Diamond Speedstar card, Western Digital Ethercard PLUS
Elite16 Combo (8003E compatible).  After some staring at a BSD
admin handbook, ifconfig, routeing (no demon), named, and sendmail
are up and running.  I can telnet, ftp, etc without any problems.

However, this is only that case when the machine is power-cycled.  On
warmboot initiated via reboot or shutdown -r (or a panic) the WD    
Ethernet card is not recognized.  The card is correctly configured
as IRQ2, I/O adx 0x280, Mem base 0xD000 with EASYSET.EXE.  Any thoughts?
