Humm there are a sheaf of known issues with tulip on the XP1000, you'll need to
start it up interactively, (press 'I') and say no to networking,.. then edit
/etc/modules.conf and replace the alias eth0 tulip with alias eth0 de4x5

I'm trying to drum up support from the tulip card maintainer towards solving
these problems, however, for now, you should use the de4x5 driver.

OK, using de4x5 works.  How about changing anaconda to use de4x5 or at least
putting something in the release notes about this problem?

Thats a change we're trying to get Bill to make,... (he stuffed it the first
time)...
