WD8003 problem

[Richard Andrews <andrews postoffice utas edu au>]

  Hi everyone. This is my first posting and I'm here because I have a problem 
(of course).

  I'm trying to switch from Slackware to Redhat (please no comments about 
which is better, I'll make my own mind up). Anyway I'm trying to install via 
FTP. I have a working system under my present setup using a Western Digital 
SMC 8003 ethernet card.
  When I try to install RedHat I can't get it to detect the card. I know the 
parameters and I've read the doc. I've tried entering the parameters every 
which way I could possibly think of to get the damn thing to find the card.
  The card IS supported and it runs fine with the present kernel I have built for it.

  Help! Can someone please tell me _exactly_ what I have to type at the 
"Optional parameters" box to get this to work. Presently I'm passing the 
following through lilo.conf

append="ether=7,0x240,0xd0000,eth0"

  Or can someone tellme how I can build a new redhat bootdisk with my current 
kernel or just give me a clue how to do this?

  TIA
