I am very puzzled by this problem. I have installed NetBSD, and Linux on a Northgate computer w/ few or no problems. The Problem I'm having under FreeBSD is that it doesn't like the Ethernet card (3c503). Under NetBSD I needed to add 'link0' to the options, so that it would recognize the AUI port instead of the BNC. I have tried w/ and w/out the 'link0' option, different Base addresses etc (280, d8000) (300, d8000) and both give the same result. The symptom is that the card, after it appears to be configured gives multiple successive ed: device timeout messages. This didn't happen under NetBSD or Linux. I really want to try FreeBSD, but I only have access to this 3c503. Don't tell me to upgrade it, because the PC's not worth it, and it works under other operating systems. Thanks for any insight. -Bryan -- btv@ldl.healthpartners.com "The relentless pursuit of perfection" Linux -- The Choice of a GNU Generation "Make it so, Number One."
