Brand spanking new Guru Plug server.

The debian on it has issues with gigabit ethernet that causes it to spin in a 
reboot cycle.  Not that I care because I was going to install Slackware anyway.

Attempting the TFTP/NFS install to an SD (hopefully) with the end result (after 
much tweaking) to roll my own jffs2 root image and run off the internal flash 
like I did with the Sheeva plug.  But I am 20 steps ahead at the moment.

I am just trying to get this to boot.
Here is my session:

Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.

And thats it... It just hangs.
Any ideas for me to try?
I'll have to re-rsync to get those checksum changes, other than that this is the 
latest and greatest 13.1 rc1
