That is device ed0; Look for 'ed0' during the boot sequence. How about mailing us your dmesg output?

I had a pci card but my adaptec > scsi adapter/ 2gb hard drive would not respond to bsd so I switched. Interrupt conflict, I'd bet. > Q: what else can I try in order to get my card recognised 3c503 ? 50_3_? Urk. Old hardware. :( Double check the ed0 settings? > Q: must I configure / compile my own kernel? That is a good idea anyway -- GENERIC has a bit of fluff in it and compiling your own kernel can make it smaller and faster. > Q: are there any known hardware conflicts between adaptec and 3com? Not known, AFAIK. > Q: any other suggestions? Post dmesg, kernel config, and 3c503 configuration. You _must_ know the settings of the 3c503 or you won't be successful.
