Anyone worked with FreeBSD (2.0.5) on DEC hardware (Venturis 466 DX2/66) ?

The boot floppy hangs while probing npx0 (config shows probe is to
IRQ13, port 0xf0 - which matches what the DOS diags think the cpu is on)

Disabling the probe gets the system to boot into installation mode, but
the system panics when trying to do the ftp install (at the 'route add')

If anyone has any advice, I'd appreciate hearing it.

thanks!
