I'm hoping someone can help me with some problems with a realtek 8139B
ethernet on -current (kernel from May 2 2002).  It's a dell system I'm
trying to netboot (using etherboot for rtk8139 on a floppy) to play with
the i810.  In windows I see that the irq is 10 and the memory address
agrees with what's below.

When I boot I see this output (copying by hand):
rl0: <Accton MPX 5030/5030 10/100BaseTX> port 0x2c00-0x2cff at device
10.0 on pci1
rl0: Realtek 8139B detected. Warning, this may be unstable in autoselect
mode
pci_cfgintr_search: linked (62) to configured irq 9 at 0:31:3
pci_cfgintr: 0:30 INTC routed to irq 9
pcib1: routed slot 10 INTA to irq9
<snip lock order reversal>
rl0:Ethernet address <ethernet addr>

Then when it goes to BOOTP I get:
Sending DHCP Discover packet from interface rl0 <ether addr>
rl0: watchdog timeout
DHCP/BOOTP timeout for server 255.255.255.255
<repeat these two lines indefinitely>

I've looked through the bios for pnp-related options, but there's just
the "reserve irq for whatever" options and nothing related to PNP OS
that I could find.  I statically compiled a hint to set the rl irq to
10, with no change.

The kernel config is from a machine that is successfully netbooting off
of a realtek, I can throw it up somewhere if it's important.

Does anyone have any idea what can be done about this?
