I think the O2 has at least one spare pci slot (mine does). I installed
a 3com 3c905c in that slot. Then netboot from the builtin NIC, and swap
to the 3com when the system starts booting. A little high maintenance
maybe, but in my case I only wanted network access to install on a local
harddrive, not to run on nfs-root.
Say, is there a way to make the O2 netboot via the NIC in the pci slot
rather than the builtin one? Just curious.
Cheers,
Izak
