(type 'help' at the 'config>' prompt) the type 'quit' at the 'config>' prompt. watch the boot messages for mention of ed0. it must be recognized and initialized during the boot process. when you get to the 'media' part of the install process. check that ed0 is an option, if not the card has not been initialized and is not available. > Ifconfig should be setup as "ed0" i believe, but is there any way that this > can be changed or fixed? yes. boot withe the '-c' as explained above. type 'help' at the 'config>' prompt. read about 'irq', 'port', 'iomem'. jmb Jonathan M.
