Hello,

I'm attempting to install freebsd over a network (NFS install),
onto a toshiba laptop with a 3c589c PCMCIA card installed in
slot zero.   When I boot off the installation disk, the 
kernel finds and identifies the card at ze0 (rather than
zp0, as the hardware docs expect).  However, when I try to 
configure the NFS installation, I'm only given the choice of
lp0 and cuaa0- no ze0 or zp0.

 I've tried playing with the port, irq, etc., values, as well as
deleting all the network possibilities save ze0, zp0, or both, but
nothing seems to work.

Any hints, ideas, thrashings, etc. will be strongly appreciated.

As an aside, I'm already running FreeBSD on my workstation and 
am really pleased with it...

thanks,

tom
