The boot process hangs right after showing on the screen the checking/initializing for device sc0 and the next device to be checked/initialized is ed0. I can get it to work if I boot in DOS and run the adapter's diagnostics, which say the card is fine, and then do a warm boot. As long as I do warm boots after the DOS diagnostics on the adapter card, booting FreeBSD goes fine. Once a cold boot occurs, however, FreeBSD hangs. This is a NE2000 compatible ethernet card. Is there anything I can do with FreeBSD to remedy this situation? Thanks. Ken welk@mem.net
