As far as I can remember, I have done the network configuration after installing bsd, and have played with it a little bit. However, I have not worked manually on the configuration files to get this result. There is also a second problem: when I enter the sysinstall menu, go to configuration/networking and select "interfaces", I get the following question: "Running multi-user, assume that the network is already configured?" When I answer yes, the sysinstall coredumps with a segmentation fault. (when I answer no, everything seems to be ok and I can reconfigure the network interface - but after that the problems are still the same) fizz# /sbin/ifconfig -a xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.176.4.39 ether 00:60:97:17:48:3b media: 10baseT/UTP (autoselect) supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP lp0: flags=8810 mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010 mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010 mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8008 mtu 16384 Contents of /etc/rc.conf: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" tcp_extensions="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.32" network_interfaces="xl0 auto" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.33" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" I have edited rc.conf and corrected (at least I think so) the contradictions in the rc.conf, but I still dont have a localhost interface, and sysinstall still crashes: # This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf # please make all changes to this file. # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # nfs_server_enable="YES" nfs_client_enable="YES" tcp_extensions="YES" # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # ifconfig_xl0="inet 194.176.4.34 netmask 255.255.255.248" defaultrouter="194.176.4.33" network_interfaces="xl0 auto" hostname="fizz.systembureau.com" No local host: [fizz:~]/sbin/ping 127.0.0.1 PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes ^C --- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss >How-To-Repeat: I can reproduce the sysinstall crash on the machine.
