Add the following lines at the end of the menu.lst file
Code:
# 
title Solaris 10 32-bit
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot kernel/unix
module /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
And replace "default 0" by "default 2" in the fourth line.

Reboot and see if that improves.

I have configured the Rhine III VIA card, and it has registered the vfe driver.

However my second NIC card, DLink DFE-520TX 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Adapter is still not showing up in the dmesg output.

Is there any other driver that this particular card would take, or is the vfe driver good enough for it.

I can't tell.
Last time you mentioned this card, it was unplugged ...

You need to check what is reported by scanpci with the drivers installed.

Both the NIC's were detected by Schillix earlier as rh0 and rh1 and I could configure them likewise.

Your second NIC doesn't appear on the scanpci output, which is not a good start.

If with schillix they were using the same driver, then vfe should work too.
