[ale] 3Com905B/C solution?

[John Mills]

Dow/ALErs -

I used a two-step solution with a 'brain-dead' PCI SCSI card. In case it
helps you with the Ethernet card:

1) I noted the IRQ assigned to the card and displayed by the BIOS during
boot, and

2) I put a corresponding 'append = "sym53c416=0xff80,10"' in lilo.conf.

I expect I may have to change this if I add more PCI cards with IRQs (or
change motherboards), but currently the IRQ seems to stay at the same
vector all the time.
