Just for entertainment purposes mostly, we re-loaded the OAT configuration
for the ENTR - and the MAC address problem went away. Dunno why. I was
elated and then couldn't get to the net.
Turns out the very next problem was a mis-configured switch. So, just
wanted to know that smacking the ENTR card in the microcode did the job,
and the SuSE install works. Now I can try that whole roll-your-own oco
modules thingy for redhat.
In my mind, SuSE is ahead of the game for which flavor we go with because
they include the correct oco modules with their distro.
Thanks for everyone's help. This was REALLY frustrating me. Again, I bow
before the collected wisdom of my peers.

Jim,
Do you have a Linux or UNIX system available there? If so, what I
recommend
you do is this...
Take the initrd file from the SuSE distribution and copy it to the Linux
system.
Uncompress it:
cat initrd | gzip -d > initrd.out
Mount initrd.out on the loopback device.
cd to the /mountpoint/bin/ directory
Edit the netsetup file, and insert this near the top:
set -x
Save the change and exit.
Unmount the initrd.out from the loopback device.
Recompress the initrd again
cat initrd.out | gzip > initrd
Try the install again.
You should see a bunch of messages from the script as it executes. You may
not have access to a printer from the HCM, but you should be able to take
screen captures and save them to files for later review. Perhaps we can
see
just what command is failing to work as expected and fix it via a similar
method.

I thought of that too. Just finished trying it. Didn't change anything. I
do see messages about a partially successful config involving 832,833...
but I didn't write them down. I can do that and see if it sheds any light.
I WISH TO GOD our HMC was connected to a printer.
