I cannot speak for the warnings you received after this point, but about
the networking driver, I believe your mistake is right here.  The
problem with the WIN3b1.1 driver is not related to the parameters you
changed.  Rather, certain driver initialization does not take place (or
not correctly) if you rebuild UNIX from multi-user mode.  You must do
the mkboot in single user mode in order to get the WIN3b driver to work
correctly.
