This prints entries for many devices that I don't have on my system.
None of these devices are 3com ethernet cards.  When I can figure out
how to mount my windows partition, I can capture the output into a
file, and include the exact output.

Is there something specific I should be looking for?  I did notice
that there werer some messages about PCMCIA, so I know that at least
was identified.

I have installed the default 1.5.1 kernel from a CD that I purchased.
I don't know enough about NetBSD to respond to your question about
what type of kernel.

OK.  I'm trying to mount my windows partition, I know it's the first
MBR partition.  How do I name this partition, so I can give it as an
argument to the mount command?
