Hello again!

After looking at the source of Net3Com90x.Mod I noticed that 
there is a call of Kernel.GetConfig("3C90xMedia",str) at the end 
of the module. I tried holding down a shift key while booting 
from harddisk to interrupt the boot process and to enter 
"3C90xMedia=4" at the bootprompt. Unfortunately interrupting the 
boot process by pressing a shift key does not work on my 
computer when booting from harddisk. 

Does this work only when booting Oberon0 from floppy?

I have managed to get ethernet working by modifying module
Net3Com90x.Mod, but this is not a elegant solution.
