Helo,
	I am trying to install FreeBSD on a Dell 486/33 and I have problems 
whit the network.

The PC has 3Com Etherlink II card. 

The first steps of the installation go as they do and I'd like install 
the remaining by FTP. But, the ed0 interface is not seen at boot time, 
neither any other network interface. I am sure the card is a 3Com
Etherlink II.

I've booted the kcopy-ah-floppy kernel. The disk seems correctly
identified with IDE (disk type: QUANTOM LP240A GM240A01X).

Poor of me...

Thanks for any idea.

Alain
