>Organization:
>Environment:

Generic jumperless PCI NE2000 clone ethernet card that doesn't want any
i/o address other than 0x6000.


>Description:

Network-installing FreeBSD on a machine with certain ethernet cards
is difficult because `visual mode' in userconfig refuses to accept
i/o addresses over 0x2000.


>How-To-Repeat:

Boot install floppy, enter `-c' quickly at the boot-loader prompt.
visual
select ed0
attempt to enter 0x6000 for i/o address.

>Fix:
	
A fix would be to remove or modify the maximum I/O address userconfig will
accept (where did 0x2000 come from, anyway?)

The problem can be worked around by not using visual mode (command mode and
compile-time config both like 0x6000 fine).

 PCI must be handled differently (and is handled differently now).  The
 workaround to enter the IO address of a PCI device in UserConfig is a
 kludge (though the only possibility in pre-2.2 systems, admittedly).
 
 The new method is around since:
 
 revision 1.1
 date: 1996/05/18 17:56:40;  author: se;  state: Exp;
 Add support for NE2000 compatible PCI Ethernet cards. The PCI probe
 is enabled by having an "device ed0 at isa? [...]" config line.

This became basically a moot point with the advent of the PCI NE2000 driver 
by Stefan Esser in May, 1996.
