Can you try the following patch?  I don't know how the firmware
handling is done, but at the moment oldsys-preseed will use eth1 if
/lib/firmware/NPE-B is not available.  So for now we can simply skip
the firmware question in this case, but I'm pretty sure this is not
the right thing to do, so we have to look again at this after lenny.
I've no idea how firmware is handled, so I hope joeyh can look into
this.
