> how do i boot w/o starting networking?

At the lilo prompt type:

Lilo: linux init=/bin/sh

That should droop you to a root shell, right after kernel boot you may
need to insmod the eth driver it isn't in kernel. After that do run: 
'mount / -o remount' to mount the root partion rw (don't forget to unmount
it before you reboot)  

> the output of 'ifconfig eth0'

Anything in dmesg about this? 
Any clues /proc/interupts and /proc/ioports, such as other devices on the
same irq / io port

> output of netstat -nr

Can't see anything wrong here, I think this is hardware level, can you in
bios set irq 10 as used by ISA, and compile a clean kernel basicly tcp/ip,
ether driver and not much else to see if it anything conficting.
