Sorry for UK netters. I have not got any reply from UK, therefore
I sent this message again in the world area.
Help please.
I have installed INTERACTIVE UNIX (version 2.2, Release 3.2) and
TCP/IP (version 1.2) software on IBM PS2/70 386.
Before that, I inserted a Western Digital Ethercard board in the
slot of the system unit. The kernel has been also configured with
TCP/IP and Western Digital EtherCard PLUS/A.
However, when the system is started, there are two messages displayed
on the screen:
...
wd: Board (1 of 1) not present
...
/dev/wd: No such device or address
...
Actually, after the system is ready to use, I "login"ed and check it:
/dev/wd is there.
Therefore I tried to use "Reference Diskette" to check system. The "View
configuration in "Set configuration" of the Reference Main Menu shows:
...
Slot1 -- WD EtherCard PLUS/A (WD8003E/A or WD8003ET/A)
Adapter IO Space I/O Base 280h
Shared Ram Space (16K Bytes) Ram Base D0000h
BIOS ROM Space BIOS ROMDisabled
Interrupt Level Level 3
...
It seems fine.
But from "Test the Computer" of the Reference Main Menu gives:
System unit
6016 Kb Memory
Keyboard
Parallel Port
1 Diskette Drive(s)
System Board Async Port
Video Graphics Array
Mouse Port
1 ESDI Fixed Disk(s)
There is no WD EtherCard at all.
Are there any people over there to meet this problem and solve it?
What's wrong here? Thanks in advance.
