Thanks to
Jason Neil <Jason_Neil_at_CITYMAX.CO.UK>

I had to boot the machine with genvmunix
   a) boot -fi genvmunix
This detected the new hardware and entered the right line for the tu1
Interface with its PCI slotnumber into the
config file /sys/conf/hostname

Build anew kernel:
   b) cd /sys/conf
   c) doconfig

move the new kernel
and boot the machine.
That's it.
Thanks
MAX
