Thanks for the hints. While rechecking all the bios options I
discovered the "diagnostic" boot vs the "quick" boot. With the
diagnostic boot I was able to see a very brief POST message that said
"ctrl+s" for network setup. Once I got to the network setup I was able
to disable all kinds of network booting stuff.
So it's booting off the HD now! The card is detected by the kernel!
DHCP has set everything up! And I can finally shut down that 9.5 KB/s
SLIP connection that I was using for connectivity. Woohoo!
Robert.
