Here's an odd one....

I just completed an install of the latest 2.99 release on a Sun
UltraSPARC 2 Creator.  The install went pretty well, other than the fact
that the VGA video adapter I found (forget the name) and have used to
replace the toasted Creator card seemed to be a bit unstable and would
crash at random points in the install.  Installing in Text mode fixed
that problem.... ;-)

I used the NET boot and install from a NFS image on another server in my
network, which reduces the dependency on CD images.  Obviously, the sun
Happy Meal Ethernet adapter (sunhme) card was working in order to
facilitate the install.  Life is grand.....

...until I reboot at the end of the install.  Then, for some reason,
when the system reboots, it complains that, "The sunhme does not appear
to be present, delaying initialization."

Any ideas why this adapter would work just fine during install, but then
not initialize when the newly installed kernel tries to boot up?
