Hi all,

I'm searching for a "stable" bsd version for my laptop.
For a while, I was running BSD 2.1, but last year after I
upgraded to 2.2-current version (I don't remember the dat),
NFS mounts stopped working. As this finally got tiresome,
last week I tried upgrading to 3.0-stable (the snap from 0208),
but after the ELF upgrade, I got messages about the firewall
being enabled, but no rules. I tried to add rules with ipfw, but
got an "operation not supported" (or something). So I tried a 
full install (starting from floppy boot). Same result. So I tried
3.1-BETA (0214 snap). The install hangs after mounting the distribution
directory from my SunOS (4.1.4) host. 

So instead of further guessing, I'm hoping for suggestions.

Hardware: TI5020 laptop (pentium 75)
Networking: 3M 3C589C.

What FreeBSD version am I most likely to be able to use with 
above? Thanks..

Kent
