Sorry, I don't uderstand why - it is a timelimited address that should work! but it's a facility I don't use that often....

If everything is in my kernel file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MINIMUM_PPS, can I just ignore make.conf? >3. You need "device mii" if you have any network device that uses it and > most do.

If you update sources, you need to build both world and kernel. (See > /usr/src/UPDATING near the end.) If sources are not changes, just > re-build the kernel. I wasn't sure if that was necessary.
