I'm looking at my dmesg a bit more and I see somthing that strikes me as kind of odd.
PCI: This system does not support PCI
I've never seen this before and I'm wondering what would cause this.
I'm going to go googling, but i'd be interested to hear what you all have to say.

This is interesting, I had the exact same problem with an eracks machine, but the pci=bios at the boot prompt fixed it for me. I installed with SuSe 8.1, specified the pci=bios and all is well.

here's the story...
bought a machine from eracks.com with no OS installed (Duron 1.3g/128meg/20GHD) to be used as a fire wall/dhcp server for a client with a 256k pipe.
I'm installing OpenBSD and after rebooting I notice that there isn't a network card, both of them are missing.....and of course the stock oBSD kern isn't compiled with support for /proc...
so I install slackware 8.1 goes off without any problems.....but again upon rebooting - no NICS. One is an intel pro/100s and the other is a SiS900.
I see them both in my /proc/pci file, but that's it. Not in anyplace else under /proc.
BTW - they don't appear in ifconfig -a output, and yes - the kernel (2.4.18) is compiled for PCI support and for both nics. Both cards are good. I have tested them in other machines.
And yes - I have tried pci=bios at boot time....it's a nogo.
I've pulled all my hair out, and how I'm asking you to pull out your as well :-)
