Here's my first install attempt for 2.1.6-RELEASE (am I the
only person to try hard-wired SL/IP installs?)

If you go through the network panel, setting everything
as appropriate, even the "gateway" box; the executed 
ifconfig will fail because it only specifies one IP 
address on the ifconfig line... for me, I got the following
on my debug screen:

  DEBUG: Executing command `slattach -a -h -l -s 19200 /dev/cuaa0`
  /var/run/slattach.cuaa0.pid
  DEBUG: Command `slattach -a -h -l -s 19200 /dev/cuaa0' returns status of 0
  DEBUG: Notify: Configuring network device sl0.
  Dec 1 15:32:48 slattach[38]: sl0 connected to /dev/cuaa0 at 19200 baud
  DEBUG: Executing command `ifconfig sl0 inet 10.0.0.16 netmask 255.255.255.0'
  ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): Destination address required
  DEBUG: Command `ifconfig sl0 inet 10.0.0.16 netmask 255.255.255.0' returns status of 1
  DEBUG: Switching back to VTY1

I'm guessing that adding the needed address in the "extra ifconfig options"
box will solve this problem; just thought someone should know about it.
