  Did you have to do much different than the posted instructions for
FreeBSD ?

  I should have mentioned that kernel.dc has to be renamed to 'kernel',
or the manual load command used as you did.

  Looks like the PCI ID for the 21143 eth chip isn't being matched
by the driver, so that has to be determined. Try a 'boot -v', and
hopefully you will see the PCI IDs of all devices go past and be
able to see the eth ID before it scrolls by.

  I might have some more detailed instructions tomorrow when I can
get to a test system and give you some expected text.

later,

Peter.
