Where are the command line kernel args set?

I'm having trouble getting my NIC to come up to 1000 on my gigabit switch. It worked when I brought it home, but ever since I made some changes (removed mionet and mDNS) it only will autoneg to 100. Anyone have any hints off the top of their head? From what I can tell, while its booting the link is up. I guess as soon as the OS takes over it kills the connection. Cable is good and I've tried another one. Here's some info from my logs and dmesg:

Nov 4 08:17:47 Storage user.notice kernel: eth0: Link autonegation speed 1000M bps full duplex
Nov 4 08:17:50 Storage user.notice kernel: eth0: failed to detect cable link
Nov 4 08:18:00 Storage user.notice kernel: eth0: Link autonegation speed 100M bps full duplex

I'm used to Redhat/Fedora so I can't figure out where the ifcfg-eth0 is. Anyone thats familiar with this distro know where I can force it 1000/Full? Fail that, I'm thinking of switching to Debian so I know what dependencies are there. The only place I could find that _might_ be where to set that is on the kernel command line:

Nov 3 22:23:27 Storage user.notice kernel: Kernel command line: mem=32M console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/md1 netdev=0,0,0x0090A945,0x9998,eth0

Can you remote manage the router? If so set it there.

Although you'd be lucky to get 10Mbit out of it let alone 1000Mbit, so don't worry about it :-)
