I'm trying to install via NFS, but the default kernel is
detecting the install NE2000 as using IRQ 10 when the card is set to
IRQ 5. Any net operation obviously fails.
How can I force the kernel to use IRQ 5?
You need to build a new kernel with the IRQ setting changed. Since
you can't do that before installing the system, your other option is
to just change the IRQ on your card.
So, change the IRQ to 10 on your card until you can build a new
kernel. Then, if you're really attached to IRQ 5 for ethernet (a bad
choice, IMHO), change it back and install a new kernel.
More importantly, where can I find this type of documentation? So
far, I've found very little documentation outside of the i386 INSTALL
document. Though not yet having built a BSD system, I don't have the
docs that come as part of a standard install.
You'll want to look at the sample kernel config files in
/sys/arch/i386/conf/. You might also want to print out the BSD
manuals in /usr/share/doc (especially the one on config).
