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.
