I had an old 386 box with a 200MB disk, a modem and an ethernet card (ep0, IRQ 10, IO 300h - an "EtherLink" 3c509 card) that I use to network to my "real PC" at home. At any rate, the motherboard died, so I scrounged up another one and moved the disk/floppy controller, disk drive, serial cards, VGA video card and ethernet to the new box & motherboard. Now I get something along the lines of ep0: not found at 0x300 (I'm at work & that system is at home, so this is from memory). I found an old /var/log/messages.1 file and it had a normal "we found it, it's using the coax interface" sort of detection. This is all with the exact same disk drive running FreeBSD-2.1.5. I'm trying to upgrade it to 2.2.2, but my only CDROM drive is a SCSI drive accessible across the net from this IDE 386 box. I'm about to start moving cards around in their slots to see if that makes a difference, but thought I'd see if anyone had any flashes of insight into why this might be happening.
