Sysinstall ifconfig's the interface, then exec's "route -n add default x.x.x.x" I added the '-n' in an attempt to reduce the delay in the case where the nameserver was slow or unreachable (eg. due to error). Debugging it is relatively straightforward; build yourself a copy of sysinstall (cd src/release/sysinstall; make), then run it. You can experiment with taking various interfaces down before you start it, reboot and come up single-user, etc. If you can nail this one, there'll be plenty of Very Happy people. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
