You will get the file exists error unless you use a netmask of 255.255.255.255 like this : ifconfig ed0 198.162.0.1 alias netmask 255.255.255.255 route add 198.162.0.1 127.0.0.1 > Secondly, to save disk space I did > not download source files...that > was a mistake because now I do not > have the files to recook the > kernel.

Yes, the easiest way(YMMV) is to use CVSup, or download the tarballs off the FreeBSD ftp server. Im not sure of the exact URL, but its something like ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.5-RELEASE/src. Get all the ssys.* and the install script.
