As to the first one, you need to have /usr/src/include as well as /usr/src/sys to compile a kernel. This issue is currently being discussed. What you did is a reasonable work around until a final solution is found. > 4) The intel-etherexpress dos config program does not allow the express to > be at io base 0x280 but this is what the default kernel is compiled for. > If you folks can change this to 0x300 or 0x310, that would be good. Ooopss... that way my fault, it has been corrected.

If you notice any console messages from it could you cut and paste them and send me a copy (or just send it to the bugs list). There are some debug messages still in it and I need to know if people are hitting them. > > 6) The installation program allows ESC to shell out but this is not > written anywhere on the screen (i.e. there should be a F1=HELP, ESC=SHELL) > > Overall, it's very sturdy.
