The system reports ed0 timeout on boot up and shutdown. Here are the facts from my setup. freeBSD version 2.1.6 I have it on cdrom machine info Pentium 90 with one hard drive configured completely for freeBSD, the harddrive is IDE. A Creative Labs cdrom set as the slave on the IDE. One printer and two serial ports. The ethernet card is an LINKSYS Ether 16 Lan Card (Plug & Play) this card is NE2000 COMPATIBLE. The card is set at 0x300 on irq 10, the system is linked to an windows 95 machine with Thin Coax Cable with terminators. I can not get the cards (I have tried several including two differnt brands) to come up without a timeout error. I have configured the card using the software that came with them, I have set the mode from Plug & Play to Jumperless. There are no reported conflicts that I know of, I have placed the "?" in the irq area in the kernals configuation file, the kernal builds without a problem. Can you offer me some help this is driving me crazy.
