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.
