I may not have all the current code (though I'll do the
due dillignce and see what is different from the solaris
mods I'm using), but I did make the change to hw/pci.c
and add in the new ROM BIOS.

I've got a Win2KPro image that works nicely with the
code base I've been using.  However, when I put in 
the new fix, the networking doesn't work anymore. (I've
got a screen dump if someone wants to see). If I build
out from what i've been using, the same image comes
up with networking correctly.  This is also consistent
with Solaris Express images running as a guest. The
new BIOS won't have networking working, whereas the
previous build I have does allow networking.
