Maybe that's it, although I don't know why.  I'll work on the mac
address issue.  I notice that when the mac address is effectively zero
(while sitting un-booted in the PROM) and the IP address is zeroes, I
will sometimes see duplicate IP address warnings pop up from the PROM
code. Whose networking code is based on our runtime networking code.
Which is so wrong.

OK, so don't do anything more until you hear from me on the mac address
thing.

Thanks,
