Re: AMD Lance problem on ELC

[Ben Roberts <broberts@mbhs.edu>]

Actually I installed Debian by dd'ing the rescue.bin onto one of the small hard
drives, then using a SCSI zip to create the root filesystem out of root.tgz.
Then I specified the root= parameter in the SILO prompt.  It took me months to
figure all that out :-)

But the transceiver _appears_ to work in that the power light is on when it's
connected.  However I get no activity when I try to send/receive data.  So the
problem could theoretically be in several other places.
