Disabling the ethernet driver !!!

[Frank Mehnert]

Hi,

there is a function eth_disable() in netboot/config.c but nobody
uses this function. Because of this, the receive function of some
network cards will not be disabled, e.g. when using the Tulip
driver. If we not re-initializing the network card after booting
and change the memory the receive descriptor of the network driver
are situated, we loose.

I suggest to call eth_disable() as first function in builtins.c: boot_func().
