Let's read the ERRATA: :o The lo0 (loop-back) device is not configured on startup, causing : utilities like mountd to fail. : :Fix: Assuming that you experience this problem at all, edit /etc/rc.conf : and search for where the network_interfaces variable is set. In : its value, change the word "auto" to "lo0" since the auto keyword : doesn't bring the loop-back device up properly, for reasons yet to ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : be adequately determined. Since your other interface(s) will already ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : be set in the network_interfaces variable after initial installation, : it's reasonable to simply s/auto/lo0/ in rc.conf and move on. That's why I requested Sheldon to re-open this PR.
