Steven,

Someone else also pointed out the problem with the 8390 module being
needed.

I've made the changes to the linuxrc script to load the 8390.o module 
when needed.

I'm not using modprobe, because that would then require the dependencies 
files and a few
other things.  I'm trying to keep the boot image as small as possible.


I'm going to test it here this morning, then hopefully, it will work, 
and I'll put it
on the download page.

The .4 version of mknbi-linux has a problem with initrd images.  it 
doesn't finish loading
the entire image, then it starts over again.

I haven't had a chance to go back and look at that.

I'll post a message when the 8390 stuff is ready.

Thanks,

Jim McQuillan
