Hi all,

I have some problems with NetBSD 1.4.2/i386.

(1 Problem) My second hd 3Gbytes has 2 W98/FAT16 partitions.

     I can mount the first partiton with:

           mount -t msdos  /dev/wd1e /dose

      but I can't mount the second partition:

         mount -t msdos  /dev/wd1f   /dosf      fails.

     I think the problem is in the disklabel. If I make

           disklabel wd1

       the fstype field shows  "unused" in the case of the second partition and
        "msdos" in the case of the first partition.

       I try to edit the disklabel but  wd1 don't seems to have a disklabel
      (type of disklabel "ficticius" ?) and when I try to create one I can't.

       Any help?

(2 Problem) I can't use my CDROM (detected as cd0).  When I try to mount
	the cdrom with:

		mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a /cdrom

          NetBsd try to use ULTRADMA  (but my motherboard 
don't          	 support UltraDMA !!). Then, NetBsd shows things like:

          "Downgrading to  mode    ..." ,   it fails,
          "Downgrading to other mode   (DMA 2?) ... " it fails,
           and finally the computer halts.

           I think the problem could be ULTRADMA. Can I force NetBsd not 
to 	use it?.

	Any help?

(3 Problem)  I have a EASY TV pci card  (bt878KHF chip) and it's interferring
                    with my LAN ( 3 Ne2000 machines)

                  With the TV card installed:

                          I can't "ping" two other computers in my 
LAN.   (10.0.0.2 &
                           10.0.0.3).

                           But I can ping the loopback, 10.0.0.1 ( the 
machine with the
                           TV card).

                  Without the card:    everything is ok.

                   The LAN works perfectly with W98 & RED HAT LINUX 6.0 and
                    NetBsd seems to recognise the TV card and it seems that 
there                 	          isn't any IRQ or I/O conflict.

                     Any help?
