Even if you get the above problems fixed, you'll find out the box has a broken keyboard controller. b) It sounds to me like you tried to install -stable, which supports neither the Etherlink XL nor the AIC7895. Get -current, or get another computer, with an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 and a plain Adaptec 2940. I really doubt you need a dual-channel SCSI controller if all you're doing is DNS "and some other things".
