}Gotcha.  What's your netmask?  I bet it disagrees one way or the other 
}with the "canonical" netmask this code assumes.
it's the host part 132.65.80.247, the 247 is 0xF7 and hence class C :-)
my netmask is 255.255.0.0 for the time being till we go vlan.

what have you in mind? it already knows some DHCP, the leasing stuff is
yet a gray area with me (i dislike it totaly, but then i own a class B ;-)
i've added hostname though. suggestions?

on a different subject, but related:
on my nfsroot client, im now stuck - again -, ls -ls /dev/null shows
strange minor/major: 0, 0x00020002   instead od 2,2
which of course ruins rc.diskless.
the same filesystem when accessed by another fbsd4.1S (no nfsrooted) is ok.
hints?
