     This problem is an issue with the /etc/rc.network
     script and in other configuration scripts somewhere.
     Something in the configuration/installation process set
     'network_interfaces' in /etc/rc.conf to "tx0 auto".
 
     The /etc/rc.network script will not process this 
     correctly, as the "auto" value is only expanded at
     the top level, not within the loop that processes
     network interfaces.
 
     This means that the loopback (lo0) interface never
     comes up, and all sorts of rpc stuff will fail to
     work.
