As Jordan pointed out, I wasn't looking at the 2.1-RELEASE sources.
After I got a 2.1 system installed, I read through the code in network.c
I think the following small change will get SL/IP installs working
again. The problem was the ifconfig_sl0 is tested, but ifconfig_cuaaX
is what was defined. The change will test for ifconfig_cuaaX,
and get those ifconfig values, but still use the "sl0" name for
the interface name (ifname.)
I've started to make my own boot floppy with
make boot.flp RELEASEDIR=/usr/tmp/release
it looked like it was going to work, but, it got as far as
making the crunched binary for "route" when it found:
(cd /usr/src/sbin/route; make route.o ccitt_addr.o)
cc -O -DCRUNCHED_BINARY -I. -c route.c
route.c:74: keywords.h: No such file or directory
I've since built keywords.h, but I thought I'd report that for next
time... If I get any more build problems in making the boot floppy,
I'll report them as well....
After I get a new boot.flp; I'll let everyone know my results, regarding
the original install-over-slip problem.
