ifconfig locks the host.

I am loading grub from a CDROM, after it loads I would like to download and boot a Linux kernel from a tftp server.

I run
ifconfig --server=192.168.10.104 --gateway= 192.168.10.1 --adress=192.168.10.201
at the grub prompt

grub then prints
Probing...[RTL8139] - The PCI BIOS has not enabled this device!
Updating PCI command 0106->0107. pci_bus 00 pci_device_fn 00
PCI latency timer (CFLT) is unreasonably low at 0. Setting it to 32 clocks.
ioaddr 0X0000, addr 00:00:55:55:02:00 10Mbps full-duplex
Adress: 192.168.10.201
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Server: 192.168.10.104
Gateway: 192.168.10.1

grub>

The grub prompt has a flashing "_" after it, but I can't type anything. I can't even turn caps lock on and off. I can't reboot the system with Ctrl+Alt+Delete. My only option is to pull the plug on the computer. I will also note that the MAC address detected (in this case "00:00:55:55:02:00") is wrong and is differnt each time I execute the same command.

What is wrong? Is this a bug in the rtl8139 driver (--enable-rtl8139)?

Thank you for your time,
