netboot64 question - WAS:: powerpc64 install from external firewire cd failed - can't load sbp2

Sven-

I went ahead and tried to continue with the neboot64 image, but it appears
that this will not work on the Xserve.  It only configures one interface
(eth0) and it thinks the interface is firewire apparently.

When I do an lsmod, no network driver has been loaded for the gigE ports:

   ~ # lsmod
   Module                  Size  Used by
   scsi_mod              207256  0
   eth1394                34064  0
   ohci1394               55800  0
   ieee1394              428496  2 eth1394,ohci1394
   ehci_hcd               54104  0
   ohci_hcd               37052  0
   usbcore               197140  3 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

lspci lists them as broadcom netXtreme:

   ~ # lspci | grep Eth
   0001:07:04.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit
   Ethernet (rev 03)
   0001:07:04.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit
   Ethernet (rev 03)

But on another system (non Xserve) where I have the same controllers, they use
the 'tg3' driver.  However, I don't see any tigon driver in the modules
listing:

   ~ # ls /lib/modules/2*/kernel/drivers/net
   3c59x.ko        e1000           ns83820.ko      sungem_phy.ko
   8139cp.ko       eepro100.ko     pcmcia          sunhme.ko
   8139too.ko      epic100.ko      pcnet32.ko      tokenring
   8390.ko         fealnx.ko       r8169.ko        tulip
   appletalk       hamachi.ko      s2io.ko         typhoon.ko
   arcnet          ibmveth.ko      sis900.ko       via-rhine.ko
   b44.ko          ixgb            sk98lin         wireless
   defxx.ko        mii.ko          skfp            yellowfin.ko
   dl2k.ko         mv643xx_eth.ko  starfire.ko
   dummy.ko        natsemi.ko      sundance.ko
   e100.ko         ne2k-pci.ko     sungem.ko

Is lspci wrong?

Thanks,
Toni
