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.
