Hello,

I recently hosed the machine that I was running FreeBSD on so I decided to
reinstall.  I mirrored ftp.cdrom.com which made the install nice and speedy.
:)  Then I proceeded to go through the install.  I used FTP for the
distribution medium and everything worked great!  When I was done going
through install, the machine rebooted and my network didn't come up.  I had
skipped the network configuration because I assumed that it had already been
configured in the process of grabbing the files via ftp.  It seems like I
need to run the network configuration menu system but I don't see what I
should run in /stand to make this happen.  I tried '/bin/sh netinst.sh' but
it exited without doing anything and on looking at the file, it seems that
it was designed to be called by another program.  What program should I run
to configure the network?  Or, should I just edit /etc/* to reflect the
correct network settings?

Thanks!!!!

Alan Laird
