Hi,

I am having problems booting netbsd for mac68k.

Hardware:
Mac IIci, 8MB ram, 160mb disk (10mb mac partition, 120mb root, 30mb swap
Video= Radius MacII Full Page Card
Ethernet: Asante Thick/TP, 16K, MC3NB

If I have the NIC card in a slot lower than the video card
I get this:
ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:94:04:f6:61, type MacCon Ethernet, 16k mem
slot_noint() slot e   (slot with videocard , this keeps scrolling) 


If the video card is in a lower slot, the machine will
hang when it gets to this:

ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:94:04:f6:61, type MacCon Ethernet, 16k mem

I have tried two Asante cards and an Apple NIC card, all
do the same thing.  Any suggestions?  The machine will boot
correctly w/o any NIC card. I have tried with and without
the VLB int switch.

Thanks,

-b
