OK, this is what I have in a linux box with three ethernet cards (one to the router,
two to a segment of the ethernet).
root = /dev/hda2
image = /vmlinuz
label = linux
alias = 1
append="ether=0,0,eth1 ether=0,0,eth2"
read-only
And here is the salient output from dmesg:
eth0: WD80x3 at 0x300, 00 00 C0 43 7A 5B WD8013, IRQ 10, shared memory at 0xcc000-0xcffff.
[...]
eth1: WD80x3 at 0x280, 00 00 C0 FA 15 47 WD8013, IRQ 3, shared memory at 0xd0000-0xd3fff.
[...]
eth2: WD80x3 at 0x240, 00 00 C0 0C 61 4D WD8013, IRQ 4, shared memory at 0xd4000-0xd7fff.
The old adage aplies, RTFM or here rather RTFHow-To :-)-O
