I wan't correct in the problem diagnosis before, when I indicated
ifconfig_sl0 wasn't defined.
I was baseing that on the message:
The sl0 device is not configured. You will need to do so
in the Network configuration menu before proceeding.
(line 101 of network.c)
However, I see that the C code there is:
msgConfirm("The %s device is not configured. You will need to do so\nin
the Networking configuration menu before proceeding.");
return FALSE;
Which, you can see, is missing a value for the '%s' - so the string 'sl0'
was likely just picked up off of the stack.
This should read:
msgConfirm("The %s device is not configured. You will need to do so\nin
the Networking configuration menu before proceeding.", dev->name);
Thus, the ifconfig environment variable 'ifconfig_cuaa0' must not be
defined, or dev->name (in the preceeding two lines) must be incorrect.

p.s. Jordan, if you'd like, I can test out any changes you make and let
you know the results before you "go public" with this, if you can
make new boot floppies.
I don't yet have 2.1-RELEASE installed anywhere I could make
a boot floppy, or I'd do these changes myself. Until I hear from
you, I'll start on that endeavor.
