You should have gottent a configuration floppy with your system, or it will be in one of the BIOS/CMOS setup screens. 2) boot BSD -c. Use the "visual" mode to tell the if_le (LANCE) ethernet driver the interrupt and base address. You may have to disable all uninstalled hardware, since the LANCE chipset is broken: it does not allow for a non-destructive probe. It's not broken otherwise, just in how you have to probe it.
