I recently ftp'ed the full 386BSD 0.1 distribution (sources and all),
and applied the 0.2.1 patch-kit plus the few newer patches (dated
March 11th, 1993, including the _fixed_ version of patch 89) to it.

My machine has a Western Digital EtherCard PLUS Elite 10T ethernet
card. It's configured to the SOFT jumper setting so that it uses the
soft configuration of IRQ 2, I/O address 280, and RAM address D0000.

When I cold boot the machine, the driver probe routines successfully
find the Ethernet card, and things work just fine. However, if I warm
boot thereafter, the probe routines don't find it.

Is there a workaround for this problem? Any advice greatly
appreciated. And apologies in advance if I'm asking a question that's
already been answered 1000 times; feel free to reply by email to save
bandwidth in this case.
