I've been resisting doing that, but that's the next step. If I yank the 3c509 and it gets past the probe freeze, then I'll know that's the card, and will have to run out and get a NE2000 clone or something (in my neck of the woods you can't just run out and get > You could also try booting in verbose mode (-v I think) to see what's > going on. That's what gave me my clue... I've been booting with "-dcv" (or is it "-dqv", can't remember because the machine is currently up running BSDI) and I get _some_ clues, but haven't solved the problem.
