Ok, I sat down with the NetBSD user's guide off of the website, and =
setup ifconfig.fxp0 as follows.

inet x.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x

and then did the following in /etc/mygate

x.x.x.x

and then added the line:

auto_ifconfig=3DYES

to /etc/rc.conf

and the system still fails to setup the fxp0 interface on boot.     any =
ideas what's going on here?
