Just to be precise : I downloaded the amd64-sarge-cd1, and the netboot-sid.
Both discovered the gigabit ethernet correctly. But they found the
firewire interface before and gave the eth0 interface to it.
Then it did DHCP requests on the firewire instead of the ethernet.
To me, the sarge did discover your gigabit interface but didn't dhcp on
it.
