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.
