Hi all,
I have tried to set up networking in
the Debian 3.0r0 image contributed by Robert Millan and downloaded from this
site using Bochs 2.0.2 and 2.1pre. While there is no problem doing the same with
the dlxlinux image, which has (I think) a linux kernel v1.3, the kernel
resident in the debian image seems to fail when trying to detect the PCI
bus, where the ne2k should be located (isn't it??). Also I
have recompiled bochs in cygwin with the same results. These are some
kernel messages produced by the Debian 3.0r0 image with Bochs
2.1pre:

512k)

I have read somewhere in the bochs website that the
PCI support is incomplete, but It works successfully in dlxlinux (I can do
ftp's...).
Any hints?
Thank you for your time and effort...
