It appears, I think the problem is too big size of resulting .com file (>16K). I tried to compile support for all cards (and my support for 3C509) simultaneosly. It finds 3C509, but then it works absolutely wrong: it prints garbage instead of Ethernet address of card and and then fails to boot, and even to execute any command from keyboard. > pentium machine with a PCI bus.

On the 486, I can load up the kernel and everything, but it dies with a > SIOCFADDR or something like that - with the error number 6. It's a panic in > nfs_mountroot or somesuch.

Correct this name in main.c to fix this problem (bit in this case it will work with 3C503 ONLY). Serge Babkin
