>Description:
I installed netbsd1.5 using my fta0 fddi card as the primary interface. At the end of the install, it asks you if you want to keep the existing network configuration. I said yes.
Upon first bootup with 1.5, the adapter failed to configure because media FDDI was added to the end of the ifconfig.fta0 file.
All i had to do was remove it, rebooted and all was well. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 1.5 over fddi card, save config, and reboot
>Fix:
unknown
