[comp.os.mach] trouble with Ethernet setup

I have been slowly losing my sanity attempting to bring Mach
up on a Hyundai 25MHz 386 machine.  I have gotten to the
point of trying to enable the Ethernet (a brand new Intel
IMX-LAN\586 Ethernet board set up for thick Ethernet).
When I run the setup command, here is what happens:

# setup pluto.eecs.umich.edu 141.212.99.108 141.212.98.1
hostname = pluto.eecs.umich.edup
ipaddress = 141.212.99.108
pc0: diag failed; status = 4000
pc0 init(): trouble resetting board.
pc0 output(): board is not running.
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCGIFFLAGS): no such interface
36
72
setup: /etc/route: not found
#

I have checked and rechecked the jumpers on the Ethernet board, and
as far as I can tell they are OK.  Is this a sign of a bad Ethernet
board?  Manually attempting to run "ifconfig pc0 141.212.99.108"
gives exactly the same three error messages from pc0.  The
/etc/route: not found message concerns me also; I don't seem to
have an /etc/route; does this mean my filesystem floppy is bad?

# ls /etc
badblocks  dump       halt       mkfs       passwd     rfshost    utmp
badsect    fdisk      hosts      mknod      rc         services   vtoc
clri       fsck       ifconfig   mount      reboot     termcap
diskutil   group      init       mtab       restore    umount

Any advice would be most sincerely appreciated.
