Setting NIC to eth0/eth1

[Joe Bielli]

Any idea why it would have changed? Does it have anything to do with the
order in which you select things when building the kernel?

In that case, you can probably pass them as kernel parameters at the
lilo
prompt or something similar.

I'm not sure of the syntax, but that's the only other place that I can
think of to do that.
