Autoinstall over ethernet

  There's something I'm missing here. I'm toying around with autoinstall to
understand it better and I believe I have most of it setup correctly. I'm
trying to build a router by autoinstall that has both a FR connection and an
Ethernet link. I am using a router connected to the ethernet side as DHCP/DNS
and TFTP server.

  I'm taking the process step by step and thus, not using a network-confg
file, rather DNS to provide the hostname.

  The router being built properly aquires an IP address for the ethernet link
via DHCP and its hostname through reverse-dns. However, beyond that point it
only tries to pull down config files only by utilizing Serial0/0 rather than
E0/0.

  Is there something else I need to do in order for it to use e0/0?
  What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your input.
