I've tried putting the net card on > x280 but get problems with booting (wonky main board I presume). My only Remove the network card. Boot the system with the -c flag, and change the address of the Mitsumi from 0x300 to 0x340. Install FreeBSD. Configure and compile a custom kernel with the Mitsumi at 0x340 and the network card at 0x300. Replace the network card and boot the custom kernel instead of the generic one. Off you go... - Gene Stark
