Modify this and put it into your /etc/lilo.conf:
    append = "ether=11,0x240,eth0"
or pass the ``ether=...'' to the kernel by whatever means you use for
booting.

Maybe you could restrain yourself to one or two news groups 
next time?  Also, ``aus.computers.linux'' is an Australian news group,
hence the ``aus.''   ;-)
