I have NE-2000 card with irq 5, port 0x300, addr 0xD0000.
The installer of RedHat 7.2 didn't detect and as a result there is no eth0
in my system.
How can I fix the problem?
Then the same thing happend uder FreeBSD 5.2 the solution was to add several
string into the file \boot\device.hints
Now I tried to add into \etc\modules.conf two following lines:
alias eth0 ne
options ne io=300 irq=5 addr=d0000
but the result was nought :-(

Another my problem is how to mount linux ext2 file system from FreeBSD 5.2.
Perhabs this is a kind of questions that should be asked not here but in
BSD-related groups, but I hope there is someone here who knows if I cannot
do it with default BSD kernell. The linux slice is well seen from BSD (as
hdc1 - first slice of master disk on the second controller) and I can read
is using dd. But when I try to mount if using mount -t ext2fs of
mount_ext2fs I've got errors. Something like "Not upported operation" or
"unknown file system" or "Incorrect superblock" etc. The same thing happend
if I have ext3 slice.
May by I need to create in BSD somehow "\dev\hdc1a"?
