:P Consider it added. The text now reads:
* Help! My RiscPC's etherH card won't configure under
NetBSD/arm32.
There are many fixes for this. The best one seems to be to either
configure
the card or reset the card in your !Boot file under RiscOS. (I
found the
latter to be more reliable with older cards, however most people
seem to
prefer configuring the card and then letting NetBSD reset it).
A quick request for more info too BTW:
1 - What is the correct URL for getting Shark based tar files from
DEC/Compaq for things like say new firmware and the original X server.
2 - What SCSI cards are known to be completely broken vs. just suck? And do
people mind if I post URLs to their fixed (but not supported) kernels. (Hrm,
maybe a section on that eh :)
Ive been pulling in a few of these FAQ type things floating past the last
few days (both of them), but please please please, send me more if you have
them :)
Cheers,
Paul
