Hi,

I tried to do a network install of
a FreeBSD-CURRENT snapshot from August 18.
I got the floppy images from current.freebsd.org,
and managed to successfully install it on my system.

However, when booting the system, the boot hung
at the following place:

ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPO EtherLink III> at port 0x300-0x340
irq 11 on isa0
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
ep0: eeprom failed to come ready
ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00


The boot did not proceed past this point.  This
is not the correct MAC address for this particular card.

I have FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE installed on a separate
partition on the same system and it works fine.

Any ideas?
