Well, once NetBSD is running, `ifconfig cs0 media 10baseT-FDX' and you
should be golden...

However, you want to configure OpenFirmware to be FDX so you can
boot :-)

You want to set the /vlbus/isa/ethernet `chosen-network-type' property
to `ethernet,10,rj45,full' (instead of the default `ethernet,10,rj45,half').

I don't remember exactly how to do that, but I can try to remember to
look it up in my copy of the OpenFirmware standard later.

Anyhow, if you do that, NetBSD will automatically notice that the default
is 10baseT-FDX, so no worries there.
