Hi !

 First instalation of NetBSD using the "The NetBSD Operating system, a short 
 guide" as reference.... I ran into a network problem right at the start. 
 During boot from floppy (using boot-small.fs) it did not detect ither a
 3c905 (ISA) nor a 3c515(ISA), and the NE2000 I put in was detected but
 only produced timeouts so install via NFS kind of failed. Installation 
 from CD works fine.

 could someone point me to a doc explaining Hardware setup ? I assume I'm 
 simply doing something wrong - I found no posibility to tell the system the
 IO address or the Interrup to use.


thx !
