 Yup.

 Hmm.. your taking about /sys/i386/boot/netboot?  The Makefile
 in there has stuff about NE2000 support.

 It might cause problems... and you definately don't need it.

 Just as a side note theres a file on 

  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming

 called netboot something... and its got an updated netboot
 code in it that scans for IO's and when i did a "make" it
 compiled a ne2000.com out-of-the-box.

 If you need a ne2000.com and are still having problems send
 me your IRQ and IO and i'll compile it here and post it to
 ya. (its real small)

 Regards,
   Peter
