You can get boot floppy and kernel from :
http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~md/ida/
Thanks to Mark Dawson for his driver.
After install, you should rebuild new kernel to 2.2.7
2.2.7 announced that they support TLAN Network adapter for Compaq, But I can
NOT found it in the source tree. The kernel will NOT work with the Comapq
Network Adapter, u may get if_tl.c and if_tlreg.h from:
http://freebsd.org/~wpaul
modify /usr/src/sys/conf/file add:
pci/if_tl.c optional tl device-driver
and add:
device tl0
in your kernel config file. Build your custom kernel.
