I suspect that on the reboot it was detected and configured by hotplug.
Hotplug has more functionality than discover1 which is used in the
installer.
Can you confirm that the forcedeth driver is being loaded by hotplug?
You should see messages about the driver being loaded shortly after a line
with "Starting hotplug subsystem:" during boot.
(If that scrolls by too fast, try enabling bootlogd in /etc/default.)
