>Description:
When I tried to setup the lp0 driver in sysinstall I had a lot of
difficulty.  The problem is that sysinstall does not pass the ip
address of the remote machine to ifconfig unless you fill out the
"Extra options to ifconfig" field.  I did not find documentation
that this was required.  Perhaps this is a "feature" and it just
needs to be documented.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to install over network with the lp0 driver
>Fix:
include the remote hosts ip address in the "extra options to ifconfig".
