- Probably something like:
-
- tiger:\
- :tc=kermit-setup:\
- :ha=020304050607:\
- :ip=1.2.3.4:
-
- kermit-setup:\
- :ht=ethernet:\
- :gw=1.2.3.1:\
- :sm=255.255.255.0:\
- :ds=1.2.3.2:
-
- Where you replace the IP addresses of the machine, gateway, domain
- nameserver, and Ethernet address in the above example.
