I am trying to revive a bunch of old IBM Eduquest machines, those self-contained monitor/CPU beasts sold by the millions to schools across america. I am almost positive they have in them ne2000 compatible cards, all ISA for sure. Here is what I am doing: the eduquest: 20 MB RAM - 514 MB hard drive disc one of FreeBSD 4.3, boot machine with it. then the mfsroot disk. I configure the kernel visually, no conflicts, I use the ed0 module, default values 0x280 irq 10 I set up a FreeBSD 4.3 machine as an NFS server with /etc/exports looking like /cdrom -ro 192.168.1.3 I mount /cdrom and start mountd and nfsd. rpcinfo -p tells me all is working on the nfs server. so on the eduquest, I get to the point where I choose the install method: NFS, fill in the information (both machines are connected via a crossover cable) but there is no ed0 choice! only a SLIP and PPP choice for the NFS install. I am stumped. My students are getting into learning Linux, but I want to expose them to another Unix variant.
