is this the amd64 kernel or 386 one? the amd64 one does not include
the etherelnk3 driver. the reason is that the amd64 kernel shares its
drivers with the pc kernel, but not all drivers might be ready for
64 bit pointers. so we only include what we can test and verify.

you can try to add the etherelnk3 line to the pc64 config and
rebuild.

if you have this issue with the 386 kernel, then knowing the pci
device id would be a start.

the boot process is nothing special. we have a bootloader that loads
the kernel. the loader uses BIOS/EFI calls to get the kernel from the
boot media so that it does not need drivers. once the kernel
is taking over, it needs a driver.
