The lanaid disks have IBMDOS on them and will boot on their own.  However,
that card doesn't require it.

This is interesting.  ls /lib/modules/2.0.32/net and see if there is an
ibmtr.o in there.  There _should_ be -- at least there is with my RH5.0
system.  If there isn't, do an 'rpm -qa | grep kernel-modules' - it should
tell you that kernel-modules-2.0.32-2 is installed (or at least some rev
of moudles).  If not, make sure that you install the kernel modules rpm.
