Hi
Can you please help with a query on changing network cards after initial
installation?
I am running freebsd 4.2 on Cyrix 166, PCI SIS motherboard, using a DTC
ne200 compatible network card on the ISA bus, NOT on the PCI connectors.
I can only get the ed0 device to install by doing the boot
reconfiguration manually on every boot, and removing 7 conflicts with
non-exixtant ethernet cards. despite saving the changes, the next boot
does not find the changes and fails to load ed0 unless I again use the
manual userconfig procedure.

This problem does not occur on a 486 VESA system using the same
ethernaet card. ((There is no PCI bus on this motherboardd)

Where does the UserConfig store its changes? Nothing in /boot or
/boot/defaults gets changed after doing the UserConfig boot process.

Thanks
