I still can't get my bge to come up correctly. I installed a different NIC (a
Linksys dc), and am using that for the install. One thing that you should note
when installing sets from the network - even if you boot from a snapshot, as you
did, the default FTP directory to fetch the sets is the release directory, not
the snapshot directory. So the GENERIC kernel that gets written to your new boot
disk is the one that didn't work in the first place.

Could that be your problem? I've managed to install the system fine over the dc,
and have booted cleanly.

(I've noticed a couple other doubtful messages on boot, which I will post
separately.)
