I forgot to mention that if we attach a R4 hard drive to the box
with LinuxBios on then we boot fine.  The IRQs are of course not
set correctly (i.e.  either all devices have IRQ==0 or some other
incoherent arrangement).

We want to have the kernel boot IL though, and that we cannot
accomplish because the kernel does not receive the interrupts from the
ethernet card.

If we follow the IRQ arrangement made by a real BIOS then we are able
to see _a_ DHCP request being sent out from the box, we see the DHCP
reply sent by the server, but the kernel never gets a note about it.
