Hi,
I am trying to install NetBSD via NFS or ftp. When I try to use ifconfig
after the other steps ("achtz), ifconfig fails with message
ed0: device timeout (or similar)
The SMC elite + card is configured 0x280 0xd0000 irq 2, as required by the
docs. Why the heck doesn't it work? The card does load a kernel iamge
via netboot, so there is *no* major hardware defect.
