This is probably more of a DOS question than BSD, but this seems like a good  
place to ask.

I tried specifying IRQ 2 for my 3C503 board and genning a new kernel but get a  
"IRQ 2 Re-mapped to IRQ 9" msg from config. At boot time, it appears that the  
3C503 board can't be found. Why is  IRQ 2 remapped to 9? I assume it's a legacy  
of the DOS days. Is there any way to stop it? What will happen if I try to use  
IRQ 9 for something?

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Any info or pointers to a FAQ will be  
appreciated.

Thanks.

Mark
