Subject:   customizing the kernel
Message-ID:  <9612231815.AA08760@handset.laa.com>

Hello,

I recently customized my kernel for my i386 box using Section 5 of  
the FreeBSD handbook.  My kernel compiled and booted the machine.   
However, none of my network functionality was present.  ed1 is the  
device that my network card is talking to so I left ed1 uncommented  
and ed0 uncommented just because.  The ed1 registers itself during  
boot displaying its flags and ethernet address, etc.  But, when the  
routing daemon goes to start, ed1 times out and therefore I don't  
have a default router, nameserver, etc.  I can't ping anyone either.  
 So, is there something I commented out that I shouldn't have?  I  
sure can't tell.  I verified the stuff that I do have commented out  
with the devices shown in section 5 and am at a loss.  Please let me  
know what I can do.

Thanks,

P.S.  My machine's networking was working just fine using the  
Generic kernel so it's not a question of other things being wrong.   
It's definitely something I did to this new kernel.   Below is a  
copy of my customized kernel.
