Did this.

Already had one of these, although I modified it a bit now, just says
"inet host12". The longish errors have gone away, but the thing is still
questioning my values.  On boot:

ifconfig: host12: bad value
host12: bad value
#: bad value

The only thing I can think of is that I've typed host12 where I should
have typed something quite different, but no idea where that might be.
And I still can't telnet to anywhere.  I'll keep poking at it, but further
suggestions are welcome.  Thank you all for even this much help, it's a
sad little machine but I love it so.
