Hi: I am trying to install FreeBSD 3.4 on the following system:

Tyan Tomcat III
Intel Pentium 133MHz
96MB EDO RAM
8GB EIDE Drive
3COM 3C509B ISA NIC

I have an ISDN connection to my ISP and a subnet.

During boot up the 3COM 3C509B is assigned IRQ 5. I go through the
install and a connection appears to be made to the FTP server. The
install then hangs while attempting to extract bin to /. I mention the
3COM 3C509B as it is not picked up during the install of Linux and given
its old age, thought FreeBSD might also have a problem.

So, is my install problem likely caused by the 3COM NIC? If so, are
there some extra settings I can specify when I define the network
settings to get this to work?

I am not going through a proxy at the current time. Thanks.
