Jason..
I used all 3 disks during install. During my initial install, eth0 failed.
The only way I have been able to get eth0 to show as "OK" on bootup is if I
put in my IP statically. The following are different attempts of typing
'ifconfig eth0'.. with different amounts of settings typed in:
:::::::
(First one.. with static ip and gateway typed in)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:87:62:0C:D5
inet addr:12.229.243.118 Bcast:12.229.243.255 Mask:255.255.252.0

::::::::
(Second one... with dhcp, but client not given, by using automatic on the
wizard as you said to)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0D:87:62:0C:D5

(final ones)
