Bruce,

Ah Yup .. the initial mod you suggested to
the router rc file didnt work so I am assuming
that oinit isnt doing anything clever with it.

I have currently hacked a copy of my bridge disk
to reset the sysctls for bridgeing to 0 and the
forwarding to 1 so that it can start to act as a
router.

thats
net.link.ether.bridge=0
net.inet.in.forwarding=1

and i will be using my existing ipfw setup
from the bridge days

this appears to be booting and setting thingz ok now

thanx guys
