Subject: [9fans] Etherlink III problems?

I downloaded the boot floppy this weekend and got stalled with the
following problem:

Using the boot floppy exactly as downloaded hangs after "Using
fd0!dos!plan9.ini".
If I delete the line "ether0=type=elnk3", the boot proceeds normally.
Since rio is running at least I'm not in VGA purgatory.

BIOS reports the 3C509B at irq 5. Windows reports port 0x210.

Hardware configuration: S3 Trio 64V+, 3C509B, 1 FD, 1 IDE HD.

A post in Febuary with a 3C905 suggested using /bin/pci which I did but
I couldn't find a man page and can't interpret the results. I also don't
know if /bin/pci probes ISA cards or if another program is required for
ISA.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Pat
