Re: Debian problem
I had a similar problem with Debian 2.1 on an IBM PC 350 /w a 166 mhz
processor. It had know special cards. I found that Debian 2.2 would work
on it because it uses the 2.2 kernel and that particular computer has a
bug which the 2.2 kernel recognised. Try downloading on your FreeBSD
machine a boot floppy for Debian 2.2 and see if that solves the problem.
