Hiya

I am setting up an HP Vectra with a 3Com 509 network card.

Interestingly enough, the system finds the card nicely and installs
per ftp just as it should.  However, on system boot after install, it
gets to the point where it says "Doing initial network setup: hostname"
and freezes and stays right there.

I assume I gave ifconfig some goofy arguments during install by ftp,
but I'm wondering whether anyone can help me around this?

Thanks,

-John
