The kernel finds the SiS900 but it has a new PHY in it and the sis 
driver doesn't recognize it. I was sent some patches but they didn't 
work and the maintainer didn't have access to a SiS-735 based mb. The 
messages are

sis0: <SiS 900 10/100BaseTX> port 0xb800-0xb8ff mem 
0xcffcd000-0xcffcdfff irq 5 at device 3.0 on pci0
sis0: Ethernet address: 00:00:00:00:00:00
sis0: MII without any PHY!
device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6
