hello,

i'm trying to net-install netbsd-1.4.1 on a small p75 (compaq).
being a net-install, i need a network card, an intel etherexpress/16 in my
case.

the install-notes for 1.4.1 say it should use 'ie0' or 'ie1' but the
hardware list talks about 'ix0'.
the install floppy recognizes it as an ix0 but then spams '$BIGNUM
spurious interrupts'.
(the device was configured at 0x360 with irq 0x10 and memory address 0xD000)
since this is my first attempt at netbsd, this doen't make me very happy.

i would really like to know why this is happening, and how to prevent it.

any help (apart from 'buy a new nic') would be appreciated.
