Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD (used to Linux until now)
I installed successfully but the kernel doesn't seem to be able
to detect my 3COM 509B board at 0x300 irq 10. I built my own kernel,
but no way, I'm getting the following messages during boot phase:

3C5X9: found 16 boards at 0x200 0x200 ... 0x200 (16 times)
found no ep at 0x300

(message not exact, it's clear if you look at the source code
in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c I think).

My PC is a Pentium 133, ASustek T2P4 board,
Matrox Mystique 4Mo
Buslogic BT946 pci SCSI board
Sound Blaster 32 PnP isa board
3COM 509B PnP board (but PnP is disabled)
and ThrustMaster ACM board.

Any help, somewhere ?

Also, how to use PnP boards with FreeBSD ?
(I succeeded to use my SB32 PnP with Linux
using isapnptools and modules for sound)
