>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).
