Subject: Hmm... not quite right in my previous diagnosis (SL/IP install)

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.
