- Bob,
-
- Most of the SVR4 implementations I've seen will disable the entire IP stack
- if *anything* failes during network initialization. Since you do not have
- your WD card installed yet, the ifconfig for emd0 is failing, so IP is not
- configured.
-
- You can get around this by commenting out the offending ifconfig statement
- in /etc/inet/rc.inet until you have a card and driver installed. The network
- should come up, and you should be able to "telnet localhost".
