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.
