I wasted over an hour trying to install FreeBSD 4.5 on a new einux 1-u
server. The main board is a MS-6378
board with a ADMtek AN983B on board nic card.

The "nic" is found during the install

dc0:  <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX>  port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem
0xd8000000-0xd80003ff irq 11 at device 15.0
on pci0


and I'm able to configure the  "dc0"  DEC/Intell 241143 (and clone)

I can ping the ip address of the card but can't ping the gateway. I checked
my subnet and gateway and
cable they are all correct. I get a link light on the hub.

I wonder if the problem is the ADM PXE bootROM. I tried a couple of
settings.

The box takes forever to load and hangs on "sendmail" for about 3 minutes
before booting to a root prompt.

However sendmail is running ps aux | grep sendmail

But still no joy.
