I managed to track down the point where everything is stopping:
ifconfig ${ifn} ${ifconfig_args}
in netstart.
${ifn} = de0
${ifconfig_args} = inet 129.2.156.64 netmask 0xfffffe00 broadcast
129.2.157.255
In the boot-sequence, one of the messages says that the 100baseTX UTP
port is activated. The network I am connecting to is a 10baseT network.
Would that have anything to do with it ... I thought that the 100baseTX
would go down to 10bt if that was what the card detected...
Also, why does netstart run sysconfig when rc does it first?
