But since someone reported here a similar problem, I thought I should mention mine... Some time ago I entered sysinstall to do some managing on the system. I entered and left the program a few times, not sure exactly what I did, though I try to be very careful not to let the program do anything besides what I explicitly told it to. Anyway, next time I booted, the network did not work. After a some time, I discovered rc.conf *empy*, and a backup of it *also* empty! The sysinstall was not as current as my current, which was not that current at all, anyway... :-) If anyone wants, I can make update, compile a new sysinstall, and play a little with it. I could even be talked into filing a send-pr... :-)
