I don't think you need to change the nfs_diskless structure.  It already
contains the interface to use (it gets filled in by the netboot code in
main.c).  Just make sure that your lpt.c initializes 'eth_driver' to
"lp0" and it should do the right thing.  It works with the 3C509 which
doesn't use the ed0 driver.
