Ok, thanks, its in template/config.h now.
Yea, that's true, it does execute regardless of whether or not something
actually autoboots.  Maybe I should think more about that...
Still seems to me that you're better served by just using an autoboot
script to start up your RTEMS application, and have the script run "ether off"
before calling your RTEMS app (or use mon_docommand("ether off",0) at the start
of your app).
