  I've just ftped the newest NetBSD 0.9 from agate.berkeley.edu.  After I
installed it, I found it has severe problem on NFS.  First of all, the 
nfs links seems unstable.  The nfs server is not responding sometimes.  I
don't think it's the server's problem, because other SUNs work very fine
with the server,  If the system accesses remote file system very frequently,
the system will reboot without any message.  By the way, the new ed0 ether
driver is not functional under 3C503.  The ring receiver buffer are always
overflow and the original setting for d0000 is not workable because 3c503
hasn't d0000 setting.  So I change back to the old ec0 device driver.
