- Hi Mark, moving into the Linux world eh...good stuff.
-
- The error (if you are using SLS) is most likely the lack of the eth0 from
- the space.c in the kernel, this error is generated by the CONFIG $IPADDR
- etc... line in the rc.net file, I had the same thing, since I don't have an
- ethernet card installed or defined, I just killed that line, check in the
- usr/etc/inet for rc.net and the config line, add some echo statements to
- your rc.* scripts to narrow it down if this is not the problem.
-
- Take Care
