>Number: 1926 >Category: kern >Synopsis: visual userconfig rejects high iobase for ne2000 ethercard >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Oct 29 13:10:01 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Bryan Reece >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386 >Environment: Generic jumperless PCI NE2000 clone ethernet card that doesn't want any i/o address other than 0x6000. >Description: Network-installing FreeBSD on a machine with certain ethernet cards is difficult because `visual mode' in userconfig refuses to accept i/o addresses over 0x2000. >How-To-Repeat: Boot install floppy, enter `-c' quickly at the boot-loader prompt. visual select ed0 attempt to enter 0x6000 for i/o address. >Fix: A fix would be to remove or modify the maximum I/O address userconfig will accept (where did 0x2000 come from, anyway?) The problem can be worked around by not using visual mode (command mode and compile-time config both like 0x6000 fine). >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
