Multiple ethernet



Hi,

thanx for these great packages netboot/etherboot.

I burned a prom for my 3COM 3c509 ethernet adapter and i can
boot Linux from the network (etherboot 3.2 and netboot 0.7.3).

Now i want to have a eepro100+ PCI card on the same PC. I compiled
the driver into the kernel and during startup the two cards are
seen (i know it from the console messages). I have eth0 and eth1.

The problem is that now, i am unable to tell the kernel which interface
to use for the root filesystem over NFS. I tried to modify drivers/net/Space.c
to change the probing order but nothing changes. I tried to append complete
NFS root setup with the -a flag of mknbi-linux, no changes.

Is there any mean to do that without modifying the sources of mknbi-linux
or something else ?

Thanx for any help.
