BTW on 4.10 The ftp through ep0 ethernet chugs along at 1 K byte / sec ! & expires half way through load of /bin & Ive used that pcmcia ether card with FBSD before, its OK, so it's the libretto. I notice the install offers memory ranges before changing cards 0xd0000 - 0xd3fff 0xd4000 - 0xd7fff 0xd8000 - 0xdbfff 0xdc000 - 0xdffff but I can't F4 to see what else is in use. I also tried deselecting a few IRQs, a few too many, it paniced. If any furthe tips available I'm keen. Funny this BTW, was easy on FBSD-2 or 3 a few years back Perhaps I'll do a 2.2.8 or 3.4 install & then do a net upgrade > : 5.3-RC1 gets much further than 5.2.1 on this libretto: it loads > : Boot, Kern1, Kern2, then Boot, goes through Fdsisk & disklabel, then > : (as there's only 1 pcmcia slot, & I cant even with a device > : rescan get it to see an ethernet pcmcia or pcmcia cdrom > : card) ...
