I understand that.  The point I was trying to make is that with the MAC
address invalid,
we can not use the ebony_defconfig, because it wants to boot and use an NFS
root.

Probably, you have erased this area on your box.

You can hard code MAC address into ebony.c to see whether this helps you
do go
further in boot process.

I'll check ebony.c...the other place I noticed I could do that was in the
ethernet driver itself...

Thanks for the tip.

Eugene.
