Hello,

Please can you help me resolve the following problems :

I have installed a 3C509 into a pentium 133.  The card is being recognised 
by FreeBSD as a vx0 (I assumed it was an ep0)?  This seems fine as far as 
dmesg goes but early on in the boot process I get the following message :

vx0 <3com 3c509 Fast Ethernet XL PCI> rev 0 int a irq 10 on PCI0:10
mii[*mii*]:disable 'auto select' with dos util!

What does this mean???  What DOS app?  How can I sort this out if I don't 
have a DOS partition?

Any suggestions?

Thanks
