System: NetBSD gus.araneus.fi 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (GENERIC) #0: Sun May 9 03:00:22 MEST 1999 pk@flambard:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC sparc

>Description:

When installing NetBSD 1.4 on a SPARCstation IPX using
NetBSD-1.4/sparc/installation/netboot/install.sh, the default values
displayed when prompting for the IP adddress and netmask are bogus.
The default shown for the IP address is the string "status:" (!), and
the default for the netmask is the string "active".

Also, the network media type is incorrectly set to "Ethernet" instead
of something like "10base5".  This cause error messages from ifconfig
when booting.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run install.sh.  See the following prompts:

  IP address? [status:]
  Netmask? [active]

After finishing the installation, reboot the system and see the
following error message:

  ifconfig: unknown ethernet media type subtype: Ethernet

The bug is caused by incorrect parsing of the output from ifconfig in
the install.sub script.  Apparently the format of the ifconfig output
has changed, but install.sub has not been updated accordingly.  The
actual output of "ifconfig le0" looks like this:

  le0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	  media: Ethernet 10base5
	  status: active
	  inet 194.100.32.85 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 194.100.32.87

but the code in install.sub seems to assume that neither the word
"Ethernet" nor the "status: active" line is there.
