Thanks to those who answered my original question. In case anyone is having
similar problems I found that the latest kernel dated 11th March 1997 from
the autobuild directory sorted out the etherh problem. It correctly identified
the etherh card and allowed me to configure networking. I can now ftp from
my A3000 onto the RiscBSD partition OK.
