I've got everything recompiled, no network interfaces on startup. I can ifconfig sis0, the onboard ethernet, it "works." Only problem is, I can't reach anything off the local network. What am I missing? I know it's something that init calls at startup that reads resolv.conf, etc..., but I have yet to figure out what. I've been Googling for a while and reading man pages; rc, rc.conf, resolv.conf, init, etc..., and I'm stumped. If anyone could offer anything it would be much appreciated.
