: Here is the extract of my boot messages when I use pl10:

: 8390.c:v0.99-10 5/28/93 for 0.99.6+ Donald Becker (becker@super.org)
: WD80x3 ethercard probe at 0x280: FF FF FF FF FF FF not found (0x7f8).
: 3c503 probe at 0x280:  not found.
->: 8390 ethercard probe at 0x280 failed.
: HP-LAN ethercard probe at 0x280: not found (nothing there).
: No ethernet device found.

: The following is an extract when using pl9-1:

: 8390.c:v0.86 4/8/93 for 0.99.6 Donald Becker (becker@super.org)
: WD80x3 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 00 00 00 00 00 not found (0x00).
->: 8390 ethercard probe at 0x300: 00 80 48 82 49 43
: eth0: NE2000 found, using IRQ 5.

: Do I need to do any extra configuring before I compile the kernel?
: I do 'make config' and answer all the questions correctly I think.
: This is the first kernel that I have compiled, so it is probably
: something that I am (not) doing - but I would very much appreciate
: any help that anyone can give me.

Well, it's clearly a configuration problem.  Note that pl10 is looking at
0x280 and not finding anything, while pl9 is looking at 0x300 and finding
your card.  Not having an ethernet card, I couldn't tell you exactly where
the parameter is that needs to be tuned, but hunt around the
kernel/blk_drv directory.  less a bunch of files until you find what you
need.  Should take you 15 minutes tops.
