After install, with kernel 2.6.16-2-sparc64,
is only the onboard NIC, eth0, visible.
(FYI: during install was the onboard NIC eth1)

eth1 is still missing.


Digging deeper showed that the onboard NIC is eth0
and the Via-rhine is eth1, for both are modules loaded.
Which means that both NICs are detected.

Doing a reboot revealed
   changing net interface name eth1_temp to eth0: timeout

Connecting a serial cable and appending 'console=ttyS0,9600'
provided better information:

I think it is now the interface renaming stuff in d-i that prevents eth1.
