Are you sure you spelt that correctly?  I've searched the entire
repository, including ifconfig, but I haven't found any reference to
SIOCGMTU.  If you can pinpoint it, I might be able to tell you more.

At a guess, you have managed to remove Internet capability from your
kernel.  What happens when you enter this?

 # ifconfig ed0
