Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I am not sure what happened here: I messed up my /etc/sysconfig file, so I imported another one. The original was in 2.1, while the imported one came from the previous 2.1-SNAP. Another difference that is probably important is that one machine was installed using a NE2000 card and the other using a 3COM ethernet card. The problem is in: # route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" # route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" If I uncomment this line in sysconfig, the system will not boot. (attaching a monitor/keyboard to the pc will allowed me to continue the boot process by typing -C, but no multicast nor loopback oute will exist. Typing 'route add loopback system localhost' would just hang the system until I -C it. Same will hapend with similar line for multicast. How do I fix this ? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raul Zighelboim e-mail: mango@communique.net Communique Inc.
