I am trying to revive a bunch of old IBM Eduquest machines, those
self-contained monitor/CPU beasts sold by the millions to schools across
america. I am almost positive they have in them ne2000 compatible cards,
all ISA for sure. Here is what I am doing:
the eduquest: 20 MB RAM - 514 MB hard drive

disc one of FreeBSD 4.3, boot machine with it.
then the mfsroot disk.
I configure the kernel visually, no conflicts, I use the ed0 module,
default values 0x280 irq 10
I set up a FreeBSD 4.3 machine as an NFS server with /etc/exports
looking like /cdrom -ro 192.168.1.3
I mount /cdrom and start mountd and nfsd. rpcinfo -p tells me all is
working on the nfs server.

so on the eduquest, I get to the point where I choose the install
method: NFS, fill in the information (both machines are connected via a
crossover cable) but there is no ed0 choice! only a SLIP and PPP choice
for the NFS install. I am stumped. My students are getting into learning
Linux, but I want to expose them to another Unix variant. Thanks
