Did you know that all devices have default addresses? Try looking at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC for a list of what's been compiled into the GENERIC kernel. You can always change this by using the -c option when booting, but a better method (so I feel) is to gen yourself up a custom kernel, with the address at c8000, instead of the default d8000. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 7608 Topton St. | New Carrollton, MD 20784 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0) and n3lxx (301) 459-2316 | (FreeBSD 1.1.5.1) and am I happy! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
