Hi, all!
Ok. I've given up trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 via my 3c509
card... I still couldn't ping after ifconfig'ing. One suggestion to
use "link2" on the command line for UTP still didn't work.
So, I pulled all my 3c509's and installed a trusty WD8013 (I/O 300,
IRQ 10). Unfortunately, I get no further in the installation.
Instead of getting a nice "Host is down" message while pinging, the
kernel panics with:
---begin output
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address = 0xf055c1fa
fault code = supervisor write, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xf018701d
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
= DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
interrupt mask = net tty
panic: page fault
syncing disks...

Yeargh! It seems as if I can't get it to ifconfig the card properly.
I've tried the following variations, to no avail:
card I/O IRQ ifconfig result of "ping 136.159.125.1"
flags
3c509 300 10 -none- "Host is down"
300 10 link2 "Host is down"
300 10 link1 "Host is down"
300 10 link0 "Host is down"
WD8013 300 10 -none- panic
300 5 -none- panic
300 5 link2 panic
280 10 link2 panic
At this point, I was frustrated and gave up.
I've dd'd my kernel and cpio distributions onto new media, with no
different results. I've done hardware resets inbetween, to see if the
card was giving me trouble. As before, all the configurations work
fine from Linux.
Help! One free dinner at Denny's for whoever figures out what I need
to do next.
