Thanks, but I need something more straightforward.  The ethernet driver in
linux must know the mac address at startup to be able to have root on nfs.

Previously, the mac addresses were stored in the bd_info struct, but that
has been removed, but alas not replaced by a common mechanism for all
architectures.
