The SROM checksum is not valid on the board. Have you run the diskette
based diagnostics on it?
ONe thing to try is to go into if_de.c in the route tulip_read_macaddr and
change:
} else if (sc->tulip_rombuf[126] == 0xff && sc->tulip_rombuf[127] == 0xFF) {
to:
} else /* if (sc->tulip_rombuf[126] == 0xff && sc->tulip_rombuf[127] == 0xFF)
*/ {
and rebuild your kernel.
