It was a problem (bug) when freebsd tryied to > configure lo0? Or, by default, freebsd doesn't 'autoconfigure' lo0? By default, lo0 is configured from within /etc/rc.conf as shown in /etc/defaults/rc.conf: network_interfaces="auto" # List of network interfaces (or "auto"). ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration. It could be that the way you set up you network interface resulted in network_interfaces being set but lo0 missing from the list. > last couple years I've been working only with Solaris, AIX and Linux). Don't worry. I set up Sol7 on my other machine and haven't even figured out why the darned thing complained about my NIC being on IRQ10 (which it probed correctly) and how to get it on my LAN. X11 performance felt like the 486/50 machine I had as a server and some ways I felt thrown back into the stone ages. Not to mention that it couldn't deal with the 16gig drive...
