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 --------------------------------- Brad Hartin - bhartin@strafco.com Communications Administrator Straus Frank Enterprises, Ltd.
