That was one really valuable piece of info! thanks.

I photographed and stitched the screens
http://galis.org/blade-penguincomputing/notes.html

It looks like two boots, which I don't understand, is the kernel
booted twice when starting the installer from cdrom? anyway here
are the interesting lines:

vendor 0x14e4 product 0x166b (ethernet network, revision 0x03) at pci4 dev 4 function 0 not configured
vendor 0x14e4 product 0x166b (ethernet network, revision 0x03) at pci4 dev 4 function 1 not configured

we've had some difficulty communicating with penguincomputing
but today I was able to obtain an 'open source network driver'

however there are some issues. it is not BSD or GNU license
or even open source, there are many blocks of "proprietary
unpublished source code" (I think the biggest is 286 lines of byte
code).. the 3 files of code I have are nearly 14,000 lines long..

    103 tg3-3.43b/Makefile
  11014 tg3-3.43b/tg3.c
   2521 tg3-3.43b/tg3.h

The copyright and all the includes are below. Is this something
that can be made work in netbsd?  I've redistributed the source
here. http://galis.org/blade-penguincomputing/tg3-3.43b/
