Hi (again) everyone :)

  Thanks to the tip about the cyrix caching problem, I can now get to the 
installation procedure... my problem NOW is that I can't get FreeBSD to 
recognise my Etherlink II (I think the relevant number is BC503) card.

System stats: Cyrix 486SLC system, AMIBIOS 12/12/91, 8MB RAM, pretty 
standard equipment... trident 512k video card, two IDE HDDs. 

When running the boot disk I get 'unable to clear shared memory at 
xxxxxx' (regardless of what I set the shared memory address to on the 
card) ... is this a known problem? Should I (as I've been told) give up 
with the ethernet card?

    -Justin.
