Hi,

I am trying to install NetBSD 1.2 (GENERIC) for Macintosh 
on a MacIIci, 8mb, 160MB disk.
Video= Radius MacII Full Page
Ethernet: Asante Thick/TP, 16K, MC3NB

If I have the NIC card in a slot lower than the video card
I get this:
ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:94:04:f6:61, type MacCon Ethernet, 16k mem
slot_noint() slot e   (slot with videocard , this keeps scrolling) 


If the video card is in a lower slot, the machine will
hang when it gets to this.  

ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:94:04:f6:61, type MacCon Ethernet, 16k mem

I have tried two Asante cards and an Apple NIC card, all
do the same thing.  Any suggestions?  The machine will boot
correctly w/o any NIC card. I have tried with and without
the VLB int switch.

Thanks,

-b
