When shutting down the Windows partition (choosing the option to >restart the computer), and choosing the FreeBSD partition via BootEasy, the >3C509 is never found. Yup. Happens for me too. I use MS-DOS v6.22 and Win 3.1 It happens with both NDIS and ODI drivers. I have disabled PnP on the card, so that's not it. And the occurence is absolutely dependable. Every time. Cold boots are fine, second warm boot gets it, but first warm boot from DOS fails to find ep0 As you say, not a huge problem, more of an annoyance, so unless one of us that is aflicted can spend the time to sort it out it's probably low on the priority list. One solution: Don't boot any other OS :-) Mac Assistant Systems Adminstrator @nibsc.ac.uk mac@nibsc.ac.uk (also postmaster) Work: 01707 654753 x 285 Everything else: 0956 237670 (any time)
