Hi, Just tried to add append="ether=38,0,eth0 ether=55,0,eth1" into silo.conf, with no luck and I get a nice error message. To add some more information to the problem I am not using modules as everything is compiled into the kernel.

I am attempting to swop the ethernet adapters around by passing the following to the kernel at the SILO prompt: | Linux ether=38,0x6400,eth0 ether=55,0x4a00,eth1 However, on bootup I still get this: | sunhme.c:v1.10 27/Jan/99 David S.
