Just for grins, try a mediatype of: just "auto" and if that 
doesn't work, try "UTP" (no quotes on either).

Different NIC driver creators have chosen different media-type
selections.  I usually try 3 or 4 different mediatypes in the prompt
before guessing which works.   I have a few Intel NIC based NetBSD
servers and they all required "auto" instead of "autoselect".

Good luck!

This must be a bug with the driver.  I just downloaded the boot floppies for
FreeBSD, and it connected to the network without any issues.  Looks like
this is going to be a FreeBSD machine instead.
