It seems very unlikely that's a Tulip chip, since that's a PCI chipset
that can't connect to EISA.  If it's another EISA ethernet chipset,
there's still some WAX work we need to get through.

I've had this too with the exact same machine (without the EISA ethernet
card).  Then I decided to leave it for a LONG time, like 5 minutes, and
it did boot.  Could you try leaving it for something like an hour to see
if you get anything on the console?
