Subject: [386BSD] NE2000 driver probe dies on warm boot

I am using a NE2000 clone ethernet card in an Elonex 486/33MHz (MR BIOS).
This works well, except that boot always fails during the probe phase for
the NE2000 card, unless the computer has been cold-booted. ie shutdown -r
or <shutdown -h followed by press a key> won't work, but a power on reset
works ok.

Anyone else met this/got a fix for it?
