Thanks for your prompt response.

If "sh MAKEDEV all" in the /dev directory that was unpacked is all I have to 
do, yes.

OK, I'll adjust the TV. Thanks.

I've seen a message posted to this list in late 2001 that talked about 
setting up the Dreamcast as IPSlave, and the DCHP entry on the server 
required to do that. Assuming I don't want to go the IPSlave route (my 
objective is to get this thing to boot, mount up some /tmp space via NFS, 
and use it as a console network access point), could I use that same DCHP 
config, obviously adjusted for my network's particulars? Or would I need to 
configure DHCP serving differently?
