I've go two lines in /etc/rc that are producing error messages. At the end of booting up, I see: <begin startup messages---> starting network ifconfig: localhost: bad value localhost: bad value starting system logger. syslogd: bind: Can't assign requested address <----end startup messages> I'm running FreeBSD 2.0R on a 486DX2/66 without network interface. My only network contact is by occassional PPP dial out to my Internet Provider. The first error is coming from the following line in /etc/netstart: ifconfig lo0 inet localhost I have no /dev/lo0. I don't know what a loopback is. The next error message is probably related, but I don't know exactly where it's coming from. As for the syslogd error, I'm totally stumped. It's preventing syslogd from running at all so no /var/log/messages are being logged. Is the address referred to /dev/log or /var/log/messages? Any help would be greatly appreciated. These problems may be related to why startx tells me: <begin X startup messages---> waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
