When the next beta is out, I'll make images with the NIC microcode

My assumption is that you simply haven't waited long enough... the
nslu2 is quite slow, after all. But I'm not 100% sure... maybe
there's a real problem. FWIW, I made a successful installation on
armel recently, but that was on a different board (with more RAM and
faster CPU) and I only generated 1 locale (i.e. the default).
