(Background: Yeah, I'm another one of those Linux folks trying FreeBSD
for the first time...I can't get ANY mainstream distribution to install on
this system, so figured I'd give this a try).
From "dmesg" after a verbose boot:
pcib0: <Host to PCI bridge> on motherboard

From "pciconf -l":
ed0@pci0:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x201110b8 chip=0x802910ec
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
The card is an SMC card based on the RealTek 8029.
The system is an HP Netserver 5/100 LC (later upgraded to a 5/133 via CPU
daughtercard changeout). It's largely EISA based, and I never could get
the HP PC Lan+ adapter to work under BSD (the Linux distros worked with it
fine...their problem was with the SCSI card).
I read around a bit and found that a lot of people suggested turning off
options for a PNP OS when they got similar messages. Unfortunately,
there's no such animal on this ancient system.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Brad Hartin
