The problem I am having is that the kernel can't mount the root over 
NFS. The messages are that is has lost carreier and switches back and 
forth between AUI and TP. RARP and tftp are working because the boot 
loader is loaded. NFS is working because the boot loader can load the 
kernel. My guess is that the kernel is messing up the le0 interface 
somehow. Or my hub/router is misbehaving which wouldn't surprise me.
