I had and still have trouble with an nf4 on 100Mbit/s before the ifnet
changes. The problem is that I only have three Marvell PCIes in that
machine so ENOTNET until the nf4 works.

I tried to PXE boot with the nf4 and that worked up to the point
kernel tried to mount NFS root which gave me above timeout message.

Pre-loading an mdimage also worked but it stopped at about 32Mb and
thus had been unusable. Don't know if that's a limitation of
PXE/loader or another problem. Haven't had the time to build a
stripped image.
