	the systems did not find your EtherLink III ethernet card. (3c509)
	please verify the i/o address of the card and its irq.
	make sure that the card does not conflict with any other devices.

	the at the boot> prompt enter "-c".  the machine will boot
	and let you edit the device configurations before the boot
	process finishes.  at the config> prompt type "visual".
	this will give your a full-screen editor.  change the
	settings for the "ep0" device to match the i/o address adn
	irq of your 3c509.

	if you are using the UTP connector on the card, you will need to add
	"-link2" to the ifconfig command in /etc/sysconfig.  here's what
	i use

network_interfaces="ep0 lo0"
ifconfig_ep0="inet 198.35.166.171 link2 netmask 255.255.255.192"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
