Base system was installed from CD, problems with lilo for
root-on-lvm-on-raid were manually resolved, and system was rebooted.
After reboot installation continued and I realise then there is no
network. I had to press Alt-F2, enter to the system, then run
ifdown eth0
editor /etc/network/interfaces
ifup eth1
/etc/network/interfaces was statically configured when DHCP failed, so
I only had to replace eth0 to eth1 in both places in that file.
