Funny you mention this, one of the machines has a bad floppy and a bad
video card, but more memory. I finally decided to consolidate the machines
and I have 1 gig of hard drive, 28 megs of memory, a decent video card,
and a busted NVRAM... But I got 1.5.2 installed just fine now so I think I
was having some kind of hardware trouble before with sysinst.

Looks like there's a way to hardcode the mac address so I can get the
thing up on the network. What a pain! Any suggestions as how to fix the
NVRAM causing the mac address to go to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff other than
hardcoding it and rebuilding the kernel?
