I am sorry if these are frequently asked questions, but I
experienced them just today:

After starting 386BSD (both tiny and with bin01) and issuing
a command like    ifconfig ne0 inet 147.91.128.8
something really gets weird: communication over the Ethernet
does function properly, but I keep on getting messages on the
console like
	/386bsd: last message repeated 3 times

and inevitable:
	startart start startartstartstartartartstart

	etc. Any decent work on console is impossible.

Does anyone have experience in solving such problems? NE2000
had been properly reported at boot time, but the ifconfig
command makes problems...


Thanks,
Rade Zonjic
