Hardy: HAL kills my network

[Heinrich Rebehn]

Hi list,

I have a problem with network connectivity on hardy alpha 4.
I configured my machine as a diskless system with roofs served via NFS.
This runs fine, but only if i remove S40hal from /etc/rc2.d.
As soon as S40hal get executed, the machine looses connectivity, thereby 
loosing it's root fs and hangs.

Is there a way to keep HAL from touching network interfaces? I do not 
want to disable HAL completely because of automounting removable devices.

Thanks for any help,
