Whee!  It's this bug again!

You only have 1 floppy drive, right?  Borrow another one or get
someone to build you a GENERICAHA that only has one floppy drive
configured (actually having one of those in the utils directory might
be nice since a lot of new computers only come with floppy drive...)

The ed0 error is because the kernel you are booting with has a fd0 and
an fd1 driver configured.  The fd1 driver misconfigures (somehow) your
ethernet card.

This will probably fix your problems...
