-
-	<answer>
-	  <para>This is basically a known problem.  The EISA on-board
-	    SCSI controller in the HP Netserver machines occupies EISA
-	    slot number 11, so all the <quote>true</quote> EISA slots
-	    are in front of it.  Alas, the address space for EISA slots
-	    >= 10 collides with the address space assigned to PCI,
-	    and &os;'s auto-configuration currently cannot handle this
-	    situation very well.</para>
-
-	  <para>So now, the best you can do is to pretend there is no
-	    address range clash :), by bumping the kernel option
-	    <literal>EISA_SLOTS</literal> to a value of 12.  Configure
-	    and compile a kernel, as described in the <ulink
-	      url="&url.books.handbook;/kernelconfig.html">Handbook entry on configuring the kernel</ulink>.</para>
-
-	  <para>Of course, this does present you with a chicken-and-egg
-	    problem when installing on such a machine.  In order to work
-	    around this problem, a special hack is available inside
-	    <emphasis>UserConfig</emphasis>.  Do not use the
-	    <quote>visual</quote> interface, but the plain command-line
-	    interface there.  Simply type the following command at the
-	    prompt and install your system as usual:</para>
-
-	  <programlisting>eisa 12
-quit</programlisting>
-
-	  <para>While it is recommended you compile and install a custom
-	    kernel anyway.</para>
-
-	  <para>Hopefully, future versions will have a proper fix for
-	    this problem.</para>
-
-	  <note>
-	    <para>You cannot use a <literal>dangerously
-		dedicated</literal> disk with an HP Netserver.  See <link
