Now that I recall, after install my /etc/rc.conf was empty and so I copied /etc/defaults/rc.conf over it and edited from there. I stripped it down to just the overrides and the problem went away - I did this all on the first reboot after load b/c none of the customizations were set (no ip address, etc). - T > -----Original Message----- > From: Jose M.
