To add more to this - tracing through in.c in the kernel,
I see that when you configure an interface it eventually
works its way down to rtrequest - to add a route for
the new interface.

I believe rtrequest() is the one returning EEXIST which is
what causes ifconfig on sl0 to always complain "File exists".

Now - why would rtrequest() believe there's a route already
there?

I made sure there was nothing in the GATEWAY and NAMESERVER
field, just in case sysinstall was issuing the route somehow.
