you could, but thats kind of ugly.  NetBSD has made a lot of improvements
in the startup scripts so instead of editing things like 'netstart' or
'rc', you have several /etc/*.conf files.  The idea is you put all of your
settings in there.  So the right way, for example, to do your ifconfig is
by creating /etc/ifconfig.ep0
