Hmm, I installed 2.0.5 multiple times using the parallel port. > The debug screen says "ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): can't > assign requested address".

Any suggestions? At this point, I'd switch back to the original vty and see if you can make it fly. The network is configured as far as the installer is concerned, so you should be able to continue.
