Gee, this is becoming a FAQ. :)
Under FreeBSD 2.1R, the 3C589C (which is a newer model) is not
supported. This model was released after 2.1R, and a patch to the
driver is now in -current and -stable, but obviously didn't make it into
2.1. There are a couple of solutions.
- Use a floppy from a newer SNAP. You can use newer floppies to install
older releases.
- Use the 'Nomad' boot floppy, which has support for PC-CARD. Most (not
all) of this code now exists in -current, but that doesn't help you
now. See:
