aha! that solved my 3C509B non-recognition problem! it didn't explain why

aha! I should have noticed that in lilo.conf, which I had to edit
anyway because the upgrader decided to make my DOS partition the
boot default...
still, shouldn't the upgrader have recognized my ethernet card in
the first place?
and, if I had skipped the lilo install step in the upgrade, would I
have ended up booting my existing kernel in / instead of the of the
new one in /boot, because lilo.conf would have been unchanged?
on my other machine (which is still running 3.0.3), the lilo.conf
boots from /. I don't recall changing it. Did the boot location
change from 3.0.3 to 4.0?
