The eth0 line in log:  we rename our NICs to be ethX (via "iconfig em0 
name eth0").  That line is just one of the copper NICs coming up.

Info on the card -- model number (EXPi9404PFBLK), chipset (dual 82571 GB 
chips).  Here's the Intel page:

http://www.intel.com/Products/Server/Adapters/PRO1000PF-QuadPort/PRO1000PF-QuadPort-overview.htm


Is this what you were expecting?    We can also work on booting into 8.1 
64bit.

Thanks much,

Charles
