Okay, we've got a new boot disk for you to try.
/mit/linux/devel/redhat/6.2/trees-3c905/images/bootnet.img
should correctly detect your card, and proceed to the second stage
installer. if it doesn't, could you switch over to the debugging
console (control-alt-f2 or control-alt-f3) and see what driver it
tried to load? should be either 3c90x.o or 3c59x.o
if it does not autodetect your card, you'll want to use the "3Com
3c905[bc] Vortex" driver. If this is the case, and the install works,
I'd also like to get some other info from you.
should that disk fail, you can try bootnet.all.new.drivers.img, from
the same directory. It will help if the installer is mis-detecting
your card.
good luck
