Well I have problems with network configuration using boot-floppies
2.2.12 for the Mac 68k port. I have a Q950 with onboard eth0 and no
AAUI cable and a Asante 10BT card in a nubus slot recognized as eth1.
The install allowed me to configure eth1 and use it to install the base
system, but after the reboot during dselect the system only had eth0
configured. It lost the configuration information for eth1 and I had to
switch to a second console and manually configure eth1 to continue the
installation.
