I asked the Etherboot maintainer to put some additional notes by that
potentially dangerous option for the 3c905b workaround, and have sent
in a patch to print a note when etherboot launches (with that option
active) so that the source of the side-effects might be easier to find 
for folks in your situation next time around....

Thanks,

Greg.
