OK, looks like something we'll have to work on.

I just used the sid-amd64-netinst.iso image to install a basic pure64 
system. Apart from not putting the partitions where I thought I asked 
them to be, the only problem was that the installer kernel didn't 
recognise either of the ethernet cards - I have an on-board sk98lin 
gigabit chipset plus an old-school PCI RTL8139 card for safety.

They both seem to be recognised by the installed K8 kernel on reboot, 
so now it looks like it's manual configuration time. Should etherconf 
do the trick? 

Thanks,

Daniel
