Your network is either not working (if your NE2000 has a BNC as well as a
UTP connector and also has software selectable ports, check that you have
selected the correct port). Also check that you have correctly set the IRQ
setting for ed0. Anyway, you can get past the "add default route" by pressing
control-c. The machine will boot up but of course the network won't be
accessible.

Installation freezing at "Add default route xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" with NE2000 card

 I have an NE2000 card in my FreeBSD box.  As I recall, during my first
install it comes up and says what it is looking for.  It defaults to some
really weird IRQ/IO setting of like IRQ 10 and I/O 280.

 This differed from my I/O of 300(which is far more common?), so I just went
in and switched the card to use different port.

 Worked like a charm after that!

If it is plug-and-pray then probably there is a simple DOS utility which you
can use to set the adress and IRQ. This utility should also be able to
select which port is in use (some cards have this, some don't). F.e. as far
as I remember a Compex RL2000-A works like this.

You can see what IRQ the card is set to with the DOS utility.

1. These "ICMP redirect from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" errors

I've seen a few people ask - but haven't seen a response.

Can anyone tell us what these are caused by? I though they looked like
source-routed packets, but our local cisco disables source-routes and our
Linux boxes are compiled to ignore source-routes - so I can't figure out
what they are caused by.

We get tonnes of them on a mail server here - the addresses are all mail
servers - a lot of them from rather large outfits...
