Re: Installation from Linux NFS

["Mark Pecaut" <mpecaut_(_at_)_hotmail_(_dot_)_com>]

I believe there have been other discussions of this recently, and I remember 
someone saying that another driver conflicts with the ne* driver.  Search 
the archives.
What I did for my ne card was this:
1) Find out your card's information, possibly through another os (i/o, irq, 
etc...)
2) When you boot, enter UKC by using the -c flag at the boot prompt
3) Change each ne* device to your card's known parameters.  I did this for 
all three, so they all three had the same settings.  (I don't know if this 
is good advice, but it worked for me.)
4) After booting and installing, and if it works ok, make it permanent with 
the config command.

See the UKC and config man pages for more info.
I can't remember if UKC is available on the boot floppy - I installed from 
CD.
