Hi there,
I have the following problem. I hired a dedicated server from a company 
that offers the service to install the system from a cd with a remote 
control console. This worked fine with two servers in the past. Now I 
tried to install netbsd 3.0 but the ethernetcard of the new server 
differs and is not recognized by the standard kernel. There is no way to 
put data to the systen via the remote console to install and patch the 
kernel sources. So is there any chance to build a new kernel and put it 
on a installation cd image? Or are there any other possibilities. 

Thanks in advance

Arne


Here is the linux lspci output  maybe there are some usefull 
informations about the ethernetcard.
