I'm attempting to run: FreeBSD 2.2-current as of 1996.7.12

It refuses to use the BNC port on a SMC Etherpower PCI with 10baseT and
10base2  (no AUI).  I selected BNC in the setup program.

My motherboard is a Tyan S1462 dual 586 PCI/EISA (Neptune chipset), with
a pair of 586-100s, 16MB ram, the ethernet board, adaptec 2940, GUS sound
board, generic ISA IO board, and a hercules video board.

Boot DOS, run setup program, select BNC, soft reboot to freebsd:
Hangs just after "entry point=0x100000"

Boot FreeBSD,
ifconfig de0 138.129.225.22    ping fails.  
ifconfig de0 link2             ping fails
ifconfig de0 down              says "de0: enabling AUI port"   ping fails
ifconfig de0 138.129.225.22 link2    ping fails

You say link2 to force 10baseT, according to message
199606130239.TAA23149@GndRsh.aac.dev.com on freebsd-hackers
(altphys?).  How do you force 10base2?

Thanks in advance!
