Hi all,

I have an issue with a NIC that doesn't get detected upon boot.

I can boot from the boot floppies and use UserConfig and
set the I/O, IRQ and MEM adresses for the NIC and it will work fine
[I had to do this for an ftp install].=20

However, once the machine was completely installed boot -c didn't seem =
to work for 5.0-CURRENT anymore,=20
therefore I can't use UserConfig to manually set the NIC up.

Questions:

1. Is it the case that UserConfig is *not* an option in the GENERIC =
kernel for 5.0-CURRENT?

2. Is it possible to add the options for my NIC to boot.config manually =
?
    If so does anyone know where the doc is for doing this ?

Thanks

 - Alex=20
