I bought the 4-CD FreeBSD 3.1 set plus manual from ftp.cdrom.com. Because the CD-ROM is unsupported, I've created a 250 MB DOS partition and copied all of /BIN and /DOCS and some other stuff from the CD-ROM to the DOS partition. I can boot just fine using floppies created from the CD, and I can run through the newbie install just fine. I can change the NE2000-card to 0x300 during the initial install and it "takes" and recognizes it just fine during the install. However, once the install completes and it tells me to remove all floppies and reboot, it hangs hard - as in "reset-switch-time" - when it reaches "ed0", and it's trying to set "ed0" to the default of 0x280. Occasionally I can get it to boot by preventing "autoboot" and typing "boot" at the initial prompt. What am I doing wrong and how can I get this to work reliably?
