Forget about the sound card until you get your ne2000 working. I had a similar problem with a wd80x3 card. Used a different rescue floppy to solve it. At least for the latest pre-release boot floppies, available from
http://www.debian.org/~joeyh/bf/ there are several versions. Try -ide or -idepci. My wild-assed guess is that the kernel on the "standard" rescue disks probes something that causes brain damage to the NIC. I discovered that after attempting an install with that disk I had to power-cycle the box before Tom's could see the controller again.
