This is only possible if your ethernet board shares ioport
0x180. Please check this carefully. IRQ 6 is default of your
internal floppy disk controller.

The /proc file system is your friend. Try
man 5 proc
procinfo gives you a first impression but there is more
information laying around.
/proc only shows allocated resource. So it may be necessary
to do some access to the device. Example: to see your
internal floppy (ftape modules not loaded) issue
mdir a: ; cat /proc/dma /proc/ioport
I assume that you have mtools installed. If not use something
else to do access on the desired device.
Another resource of information is /var/log/boot.msg
Please keep in mind:
- have a look at /var/log/messages and try to understand the
information given there.
- it my be necessary to give your accelerator board it's own
IRQ and DMA. There are elder m/b's with Socket 7, Triton
Chipset and green AMI Bios which may have problems sharing
fdc resources.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Martin
