i stumbled upon "RESET SC Control=00000000" from someplace. while i'm not
sure exactly what it does, i think it does some pretty low level reset.
interestingly enough the first boot using this command booted the system
right into the OS (4.0) but any subsequent try has failed as well.
i tried the following to pull more output to see what was going on, but,
well here, this is what happened:
-----
ok setenv mfg-mode on
mfg-mode = on
ok setenv diag-switch? true
diag-switch? = true
ok setenv auto-boot? false
auto-boot? = false
ok reset-all

i don't know why this device is listed twice. i'm leaning towards the
mainboard, but if the problem is with this NIC, then it makes things a whole
hell of a lot easier to deal with.
