Adam,
I suggest you go into the system configuration file and remove
the references to tu0. Then rebuild the kernel and go.
The file is /sys/conf/<SYSTEMNAME>
Your system name in upper case.
In the following example I have commented out tu0, in part of a config
file.
#controller tu0 at pci0 slot 0
controller tu1 at pci0 slot 8
controller gpc0 at ibus0 slot 0 vector gpcintr
Look at the man page for doconfig to see how to rebuild the kernel.
CDE expects all the network interfaces to be configured or turned
off.

CDE startup failures are usually due to incorrect network host naming;
if CDE depends on the host name / IP address associated with "tu0",
then change the CDE setup to use a different host naming. I wish I
could tell you where CDE keeps the information, it's probably in one
of the files in /var/dt or /var/.dt but exactly which one is anyone's
guess.
Alternatively, you might need to alias the local host name that CDE is
trying to use to one of the two working network adapters.

Yes,
CDE gets real upset if tu0 is not set up... Why not simply set up tu0 in
the "private address" space, 192,168.0.xxx,.. This make cde happy enough to
work....
