Try using the 3com config } util to move the card to another port. Yes or No. There is no any other ISA adapter on this machine beside 3C509, this machine is currently running 4.0-200001xx and has no problem, so this is no any other device uses port 0x300; but moving 3c509 to port 0x310/0x320 will help to install this version FreeBSD. It obviously is the wrong configuration on the installation floppies, because after I installed 4.0-20000208-CURRENT by moving 3c509 to port 0x310, and rebuild the kernel as device ep and moved the 3C509 back to port 0x300, the new kernel is happy with it and boots up without any problem. This problem seems to be started in SNAP from Feb. 2000. If this cannot be fix in 4.0-formal-release-installation floppies, we must address above solution in README and ERRATA to tell people how to install it when 3c509 ethernet adapter presents.
