I've installed FreeBSD on my 486 successfully.  However, device ed0 
(refered to in the short README file and the longer INSTALL NOTES) does 
not exist. I've configured my ethernet card according to what the install 
notes say to do (ie, IRQ 5, Port 0x280).  My card is a 3COM 3503 card.  
After the install, device /dev/ed0 (nor the /dev/we0, or /dev/ne0) did 
not exist.  I haven't read the FAQ in depth, but I've looked for this 
question (obviously without any luck).

(I only have the binaries, not the source.  Would I need to recompile the
kernel for FreeBSD to see the card?)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
