* Attempting to load FreeBSD 2.1 over the Net onto a IBM ThinkPad using
  a 3Com EtherLink III ethernet card (3c589).

* Successfully made a boot disk with image from the ftp site.

* Everything worked except that after about 20 attempts, the device is never
  attached -- it is recognized as being in slot 1, but the probe to the I/O
  address fails, resulting in "zp0 not found at 0x300".

* I have used tried using 3com software to set the device's I/O port and INT#
  to the ones used by the kernel.  And I have set the numbers on the card and
  in the kernel (booting with "-c") to several other pairs of numbers without
  success.

Is there something else that I should try?  Thanks.`
