Have just purchased an A7000 with RO 3.6 and bought an i-Cubed ethernet
interface for it. Fitted it okay, but when I power on the computer it
gets stuck in an endless loop attempting to find a bootp server. When it
invariably fails to find one, it reboots, over and over again.

This is all even before "RISC OS" is displayed, let alone the desktop,
and so I can't get to the Supervisor or anything. There are no jumpers
or DIP switches on the interface.

How do I stop this happening? I just want to use it as a normal TCP/IP
interface, I don't want the computer to boot off the network.

This may be due to it looking for a 'topcat server?'. Peter Nauls told me
to do the following which worked for me:
Turn on holding down both <ALT> keys
Press <F12> and write
unplug dobootp
press <return> twice
Turn off and restart as normal
