You appear to have a number of problems at the same time. I will try to give some hints in their general direction, please search in the archives of the mailinglists and read some parts of the FAQ and handbook as they provide background information. And don't forget `man'. Anyways, the ep0 driver specifies an attach to isa? with some irq and iomem values. Look at your line in your kernel file, do they match the setting of the card? No? try to change the value of the card with 3c5x9cfg.exe or change the setting within the kernel config file. Did you try a boot with boot: set_verbose boot: boot yet? It might yield additional information. tcsh? usr/ports/shells/tcsh Not requested? That depends on what you choose on install, the FreeBSD install is as sutomisable as you want provided you chose expert instead of novice install...
