[K12OSN] 3c509 won't boot

[NONE NONE]

Ok I'm back at it today... I have three computers with a 3com card, the 3c509. I made the rom-o-matic boot disk and they load it fine, and connect, and start with the boot process, but then they die with "kernel panic: attempted to kill init".

The message says could not automatically detect the network card, etc etc, if it's an ISA card add NIC= parameter in option-129 to /etc/dhcpd.conf

So I think I've done this, I copy/pasted one of the entries and changed the MAC address to that of the computer that won't load:

    host ws008 {
        hardware ethernet     00:60:08:9D:B5:1C;
        option option-129 "NIC=3c509";
    }

However, it still won't load, it gives the same error. Help! One other thing, it says in dhcpd.conf:

# Don't forget to set run_dhcpd=1 in /etc/init.d/dhcpd
# once you adjusted this file and copied it to /etc/dhcpd.conf.

Which I didn't do... But I initially left out a semicolon, and then nothing would boot, until I put it back, and now everything else boots like normal again, so it must be loading these settings...
