It was either ne0 for a novel ne-2000 board or w??0 (I forget exactly) for the western digital board. I had a ne-2000 clone, so I used ne0. In this example, replace all the 'ne0' with whatever board you have. first, type ifconfig ne0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where you put the internet address you will use for your machine in the place of the xxx's. This configures the network software. Now you just type ftp yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy where you replace yyy's with the ip address of the machine you are going to get stuff from. If you don't know the address, most unix machines have 'nslookup'. (Your 386bsd machine doesn't (yet)). For example, % nslookup export.lcs.mit.edu Name Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: export.lcs.mit.edu Address: 18.24.0.12 (note that there isn't any 386bsd stuff there. :) Later, you may want to set up a name server or list machines in /etc/hosts so your machine can know others by name, but that will be after you get your install done.
