Hi, having just said that old machines work great, I find myself 
with a problem!  I am trying to bring up a box with an SMC8013EWP
NIC (the exact same NIC that 20 or so other boxes here are using on
2.2.5-R).  First, let me say up front that I have run the card through
diagnostics, and it's ok.  I have even swapped it out and had it
work fine in the box it went to, and now have the *other* (working)
card to mess with.  This is NOT a hardware problem, no matter WHAT
it may *look* like :)

I can bring up ed0 with 0x300, [5,10], 0xcc000, but I cannot get it
to work at 0x280 with ANY irq or RAM settings!  I know how to set
the options on the install screen, but they are obviously being
ignored, since it never finds ed0 on probes.  

I MUST have this one box on 0x280, IRQ 3 or 10, and 0xd8000 or
0xd0000 so that I can accomodate another piece of hardware.  With
that in mind...  How do I get around 2.2.5's refusal to map to my
selected addressings???

TIA
