I'm trying to boot FreeBSD-2.1.0 diskless on a 486SX/33 with an 8013 clone. The card is fine if FreeBSD (or NetBSD or DOS or ...) are booted from local disk. Trying to use nb8390.com from DOS leaves me with a hung machine right after the MAC address of the card is displayed. After I use ctrl-alt-delete to bring the machine back the video memory is corrupted; a hardware reset is then required to reboot the machine. $ dmesg | grep ed0 ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 9 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa ed0: address 00:00:c0:53:28:30, type WD8013EBT (16 bit) I have compiled nb8390.com with -DINCLUDE_WD -DWD_DEFAULT_MEM=0xd8000. Any help, hints, guesses would be appreciated. The motherboard is Micronics (think broken Gateway keyboards :-) but is otherwise unremarkable as far as I know ... Thanks, Giles
