I'm trying to get dhcp going on a friends machine and am having problems.
Its NetBSD-1.4.1/i386. It works fine on my NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k. As far
as I can tell, everything is done the same on these machines in
/etc/{rc.conf, dhclient.conf} after substituting the correct network
interfaces.
During boot, I see
Can't attach interface eon0 to bpf device /dev/bpf0: Device not
configured, exiting.
So is the complaint about eon0 or bpf0? In dhclient.conf, in the leases
section, there is a line
interface "ep0";
so I don't know why its even trying eon0 (I don't even know what that is).
As far as kernel options, I tried with a GENERIC kernel and a custom one.
I have verified that there is a line
psuedo-device bpfilter 16
is in the config file and /dev/bpf0 exists (from sysinst). I also tried
cd /dev
sh ./MAKEDEV bpf0
Any ideas?
Thanks
