If you are not using X, I do hope you are using screen ;)
(I mean Gnu Screen).

This page reports supported Ethernet on x86 :

http://www.netbsd.org/Hardware/pci.html

The ST20G5 does not tell a lot about the network card on the Shuttle website.
But checking its driver shows they seems to be using a Broadcom 5751.
The NetBSD supported hardware page says about 570x but not 5751.

Not sure it will work. If it does not, please try to boot a NetBSD-current by
using the two floppy disks and see if it gets supported.

The 5751 is supported under FreeBSD. Code can be ported then.
