}Hi. Could someone enlighten me as to the cause and soln to
}the error msg "shared memory error (device conflict?)" from the 3c503
}driver?
}
}I'm installing 386bsd 0.1 from the InfoMagic Aug'92 CD-ROM.  The error
}occurs when booting the Tiny BSD floppy or from hd.  This seems like a
}hardware problem to me, yet the system works fine with Chameleon (TCPIP for
}MS-Windows).  _Just_once_, I did observe the system to boot properly
}(printing 3c503 Enet addr & other params), but haven't been able to repeat
}this miracle.
}
}I haven't found anything in the FAQ from hrd769.af.mil.

Check section 3.1.5.  While it isn't SPECIFICALLY about your card, it
does go into a reasonable amount of detail about shared memory
conflicts...

This error was the one that actually got that question into the FAQ.
