Just some more info - I've tried again without the 2 3COM NICs plugged in,
and it made no difference.

It actually never gets round to saying
"Probing for devices on PCI bus"

It goes straight from
Preloaded ELF kernel
to
Preloaded userconfig script etc etc (userconfig script is empty, BTW)
then to
Probing for devices on ISA bus.
