Hi,

My first time mailing to you guys, so please excuse any protocol errors. :-)

I'm having some very strange problems with the 951020 snapshot, attempting to
install it over a fairly recent 2.1.0 release. The box in question has a
WD8013EP ethernet card, which has worked OK up to today. It's found by the
bootup code, and gives the expected:

ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 16384 on isa
ed0: address 00:00:c0:6d:81:2d, type WD8013EP (16 bit)

During the installation, whether I try an upgrade or a full install, I see, on
the debug screen:

DEBUG: Init routine called for network device ed0.
ed0: device timeout

On the "holographic shell" screen, an ``ifconfig'' tells me:

ed0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 130.88.202.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 130.88.202.255
ifconfig: kvm_read(): Bad address

and none of the network stuff works. A bit nasty, since I'm trying to install
from it. :-(

If I reboot the old version, it all works (except that the install has 
trashed a fair bit of what was there).

I'd normally post to c.u.b.f.m, but I'm in the process of copying my Usenet
article disk to a RAID array and the damned thing is too overloaded to let
me post...

Any assistance appreciated!

All the best,

Ian.
