Ok I am trying to install 386BSD using the dist.fs disk..finally got a copy that
would boot.  Now in the install notes it says:

	Note, if the system does not find the ethernet card in the bootstrap
	manifest, this will not work.

Well I did not see any mention of my ethernet card when it booted, just my 
com1, and console and floppy.  I have a western Digital ethernet card I believe
the model is WD803 or wd003 (something like that).  Anyone got any suggestions?

Steve

PS also for the FTP stuff it says to enter :
	ifconfig <enet device> ....  I am assuming the enet device would be located
	in /dev/whatever if my ethernet card was detected.
