(As an aside, I was quite surprised when the first screen that popped up was UserConfig, and the installation notes started talking about hitting F1 and all sorts of menus. Perhaps the docs should be updated?) I also tried using 2.1.5-RELEASE, and I get complaints about not being able to find the eeprom. I've gotten the /bin stuff up under 2.1.5 (by ftping to an MS-DOS partition, so I know that the card works), but I can't get any further (and I would rather install via ftp as opposed to downloading everything). Has anyone else run into this and has a possible solution/workaround? I saw in the release notes for 2.2-ALPHA that the 3C595 support has been improved. Should I go with that instead? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Rob
