I acutally have an old Pix ISA flash card that I removed to install the 16
Meg flash. I have tried it on another motherboard, but it comes up with
errors and just keeps rebooting. I am not sure if it has to do with the
network cards or not. I can watch it from the serial port (console), and it
gives me an error, then displays the config, a bunch of other stuff, and
reboots.
