THEN, get this.. the boot blocks get trashed after a few attempts at rebooting. Also tried an INTEL etherexpress. An older 3c509 seemed to work though. But with the new cards, we try to setup the card and it says "what card?" The cards are even defined in the kernal! The motherboards are Micronics. Is this the fault of the card, bsd or the motherboard? thanks in advance.
