Hey,

I see from the 3.3 errata that you're concerned with the bug regarding
lo0 not configured at startup.

If we look at /etc/rc.network:

    if [ "x${network_interfaces}" = "xauto" ]; then
            network_interfaces="`ifconfig -l`"
    fi

we see that "auto" works only if it is the only ``interface name'' on
that line...

When you add a new interface using /stand/sysinstall, however, it will
add the new interface name to the front of what was already there; in
my case, this changed network_interfaces in rc.conf from "auto" to "vr0
auto", causing (of course) only the vr0 interface to be configured.

Best regards,
Tudor.
