This machine is using irq 12 for the ps/2 mouse (that's what BSDI says when it's booting), and I don't think I can change that in the BIOS. Even if I use the 3com DOS-based utility to set a particular irq & iobase for the card (3c509 Etherlink III), either 0x250/11 which BSDI uses or 0x300/10 which is the default for freebsd, it still freezes up. Any ideas? Thanks, -T. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
