Thanks to Bruce Marshall and Jerry Westrick for pointing out that the module (in this case 3c509) for the network card had probably been omitted from the mkinitrd process and thus from the initial ramdisk. <snip>
So that your network card is in the INITRD_MODULES section. Don't know why the install didn't get it in there, but now I can do remote boots I'm a happy bunny on that score.

I wonder if you loaded the network driver before starting the install? I sometime do this when I want to do a network install, haven't tried it yet on 9.1, but this problem didn't apper on 9.0...
No, it was a CD install, all perfectly normal. I don't remember this matter needing any intervention before - but now Anders has made his point about the modules.conf, I will look at that and see what it says ... Thanks Fergus
9.1 has the new F-Key for network install, did you use that?
