Matt, The etherboot floppy is programmed to look for a specific NIC, that's why it finds the correct card.
Once the kernel kicks in and goes probing for a NIC, it finds the 8019 first, and tries to use that. You can force it to find the 8139 first by providing the NIC module on the kernel command line. You do that with the option-128 and option-129 lines. You would want something like: "NIC=8139too" Take a look at http://www.LTSP.org/instructions-3.0.html for information about how to specify option 128/129.
