Problem withe remote installation

Hi there,
I have the following problem. I hired a dedicated server
from a company 
that offers the service to install the system from a cd with
a remote 
control console. This worked fine with two servers in the
past. Now I 
tried to install netbsd 3.0 but the ethernetcard of the new
server 
differs and is not recognized by the standard kernel. There
is no way to 
put data to the systen via the remote console to install and
patch the 
kernel sources. So is there any chance to build a new kernel
and put it 
on a installation cd image? Or are there any other
possibilities. 

Thanks in advance

Arne


Here is the linux lspci output  maybe there are some usefull

informations about the ethernetcard.

Try a -current CD.   You can build a custom iso with
build.sh with
3.0 sources (I'd use netbsd-3 sources instead), but if it
doesn't work
with -current, making it work with 3.0 will be nontrivial.
