Yeah, I actually did that before I received this email, but after I asked
the original question. It works fine, as expected. Now, of course, I'm
left wondering *why* is this the case? I truly made *no* BIOS changes. I
had beed using boot=/dev/sda for over a year with no problems at
all. It's just when I added a new network card that this happened.
I suppose it's more a mater of curiosity at this point than anything else,
since boot=/dev/hda works. It's still very weird, though.
noah
