No fas.  Plain ultra 1 has lance ethernet which is supposed to be supported
by the lnc driver, but it doesn't look to use busdma and it doesn't have an
sbus front end.  Ultra 1E has hme.  If you've got an sbus hme card you should
be able to netboot a plain ultra 1.

Scott Long is working on a driver for fas, its similar to the chipsets
supported by the amd(4) driver.  The isp driver works if you can find
an sbus isp card.

sbus support is solid, anything that's available is sbus that we have
a portable driver for just needs a front end.
