Howdy,

I am installing FreeBSD 2.0 on 386-33/8MB RAM/ISA system.
Ethernet card is an NE2000 clone. On booting up, the startup
message recognizes this card as "ed1" at address 0x300 IRQ5.

Installation proceeds O.K. until it's time to FTP bindist
from FTP site. After telling the installation program my
FQDN, IP address, and name server IP address, I get ed1
timeout error message.

   ed1: device timeout

What gives? Thanks for any info.
