I added backslashes for newlines so that would be readable here.  It's 
all one line in grub.conf.  I usually do pxe boot for installs, but I 
have a few systems in other buildings with no monitor and no keyboard 
hooked up, so if I can get this working when it comes time to upgrade a 
system by installing the latest SL release would be a big win.  One nic 
is a broadcom BCM5703X embedded on the motherboard, that's the active 
NIC.  There's an add-on card Intel 82541PI, that is not hooked up to 
anything at this time.

After talking with a co-worker we had the thought that some of these 
parameters might need to be on a separate append line in grub.conf which 
would make it look like a pxeboot file.  Gonna try that next.
